Silchester Park, Glenageary, Dublin
Currently on-site

The project involves the refurbishment and extension of a 1950s semi-detached house in Glenageary.

The ground floor rear wall is removed to open the house to the south-facing garden. A series of cranked and faceted walls are made that enclose a new dining area and associated external terraces. The angled walls create deep thresholds between inside and outside and make niches for benches. The materials are blockwork, concrete, render and terra-cotta tiles. The roof of the extension is covered in sedum to have a visual connection with the garden when viewed from the upper floor.

This project was also exhibited as part of Describing Architecture Exhibition 2012. For more info click here.
