A house in a garden _ 81 Hollybrook Grove
Dublin, Ireland
This house is situated in a garden of a 1940's housing estate. The site is bounded to the south by a hedgerow, to the northwest by the existing terrace and to the northeast by a public laneway.
On the ground floor a cross-shaped core divides the plan into 4 public rooms: a hall, kitchen, dining and living room. These rooms are located according to proportion and orientation and step in section to accommodate different ceiling heights. The core contains the service and ancillary programme. A continuous loop of circulation is along the perimeter.
The supporting structure is located away from the envelope within the internal cross-shaped core allowing a curtain of timber folding doors to wrap the house at ground level on the garden side.
On fine days, the folding doors can slide back from their corners allowing the house to spread outside - reducing the house's footprint to the structural core.
The first floor is laid out with three bedrooms and a bathroom off a small central landing. The landing is lit from a tall roof light within an extruded chimneystack. The landing is one door wide and two doors in length. The ceilings are draped along the pitch of the roof. These rooms are lined in through-coloured MDF with a marquetry MDF floor, all services are framed within these elaborations.
Externally, the house is treated in a manner similar to the existing estate. The masonry walls are finished in an off-white cementious render, deeply roughcast on the garden side and hand troweled smooth on the laneway elevation.
A fibre cement roof is elaborated with copper fixtures. Copper downpipes draw figures across blank parts of the facade.
Where the house meets the laneway a simple gable is projected with the image of a doorway and window set in relief.
