Ranelagh, Dublin

The project involved the extension and refurbishment of a 130-year-old, 2-storey terraced house into a spacious home for an extended family.


The extension is part 3-storey and part single-storey. Use of rooflights to get light deep into the plan. Careful restoration of original features with restrained modern design interventions. The kitchen and dining become the heart of the home, with a focus on usability and storage to support busy family life. The addition of a sun-filled playroom and the relocation of the staircase enable a flexible, efficient internal layout. On the first floor, space is allocated for both a family bathroom and an ensuite, as well as a dressing room.
