The Seaview House is located in the southern coast of County Wexford in Ireland, 700 meters from the sea coast and 4 km of the fishing village of Kilmore Quay.
The brief for this project asked to convert the existing building into a bright contemporary/flamant style seaside bungalow.
The existing bungalow was built in the mid-seventies. The layout was not functional and neglected the solar orientation and the fantastic sea views.
The design proposed to mimic the volume of the old bungalow with the intention of raising the house to overlook the landscape while providing breath-taking views of the sea and the Saltee Islands.
This bold prolongation of the existing house converted what was a typical 1970’s Irish bungalow into a modern twenty-first-century vibrant home.
The original house was completely renovated and the building’s fabric upgraded.
The timber cladding was selected to reduce the potential impact of the new volume in the landscape. The use of a natural product was paramount to blend the new structure with the landscape.
The cladding was installed diagonally to accentuate the uniqueness of the form.
The new extension was fully wrapped with cladding to emphasize the mass intact in the splendour of its form. Accoya wood was selected for the cladding and battens for its durability, stability, and sustainability properties.
