This house is one of eight semi-detached, brick-fronted houses built around 1870 in South Dublin. As originally designed, an ornate double-hipped two-storey volume to the front contained the main reception rooms and bedrooms with a lower, two-storey return to the rear and a further lean-to back pantry.
Since then, different owners have extended and changed the house to suit their changing needs.
The original pantry was demolished to make way for a glazed conservatory across the two-storey return. As architects, we developing this intent further, by opening up the back of the house to the garden with a series of steel-framed portals. Facing almost due North, the new rear elevation was layered to provide some sense of threshold. The new room is lit by seven windows on three elevations, so as to mitigate against a stark northerly aspect.
