An architecture studio that values the creative remodelling, reconfiguration and extension of existing structures and spaces, whilst improving sustainability and energy efficiency.
The project comprised extensions to the side and the rear of a two-storey detached dwelling in Sandycove to provide contemporary adaptable spaces for a large family. A single storey extension to the rear with a reconfigured ground floor plan provides an open plan space that connects to the garden with full height glazing. A fifteen square metre first floor extension, located to the side, accommodates an additional bathroom and bedroom.
Circulation spaces are enhanced by new roof lights and a landing adjustment. Externally, light coloured brick links in with the existing brick on the front façade, and transforms the appearance of the dwelling. The completed project has a Primary Energy Loss of 47.05 kWh/sq.m. per annum and a Building Energy Rating of A2.
