As residential architects in Dublin, we see a lot of similiar style 1960s and 70s semi-detached houses. Our job is to identify the features that make each one special. In this case: a triangular corner site and an almost due-South orientation to the rear. Largely untouched since its original construction, the house required complete replacement of all services, thermal performance upgrading, and the creation of a large family space for cooking, eating, and relaxing.
The rear of the house was opened up completely and a new extension created. This extension is orientated according to the geometry of the site and its outlook is both wider and more private as a consequence. To the rear, the extension steps up in height, in proportion to the size of room it serves, and is protected from midday sunshine by a shallow portico which tracks the motion of the sun from morning till evening. This portico is a timber-framed construction nestled between masonry piers which are finished in white brick.
