dormore
One of our clients had recently started working from home, an appropriate study / office space was required and as no alternative locations in this tight urban property were viable, the existing attic was an obvious choice.
For this locally listed property, an existing hipped roof complicated the possibility of altering or extending into the roofscape. Development was however possible by portraying to the council through intensive iterations, the relevance of a latent historical typology found elsewhere in the conservation area – the ‘single dormer window’.
Typical precedents for these...
outhouse-in
This one-bedroom flat is part of a subdivided Georgian terraced shop building. It is one of several flats accessed by a shared hallway with a Health Food Café below. As a result of erratic previous development an existing outhouse extension, currently used as a study/small bedroom, is disconnected from the main flat completely. Accessing this space requires one to awkwardly pass through the communal staircase.
The brief was to reconnect the outhouse extension and improve the quality of the space. The design utilises a new wall as a connecting device between...
repoussoir
Rear and Side extension with ground floor redesign, refurbishment and outbuilding
reveal in roof
The client’s brief was to provide additional space for their growing family; due to the relatively small size of their garden, the only option was to extend into the roof space. This was contentious; the house is in the centre of four unique Victorian properties, in a conservation area and none had adapted the roof. A distinct feature of the rear elevation is its flatness. The roof addition has a layer of depth which responds to the existing condition and reads as a delicate element on the roof. The result...
parkland crematorium
A proposal for a new chapel and refurbishment of an existing crematorium that connects visitors to the beautiful landscape within which it sits.
via - pavilions
An existing detached house had poorly considered and badly arranged extensions, sheds and outbuildings which resulted in a compromised garden that felt much smaller than it was.
The poorly built structures are demolished, releasing the existing house and garden. Two pavilions are then proposed within the enlarged garden. These new structures are uniform and sharply detailed in contrast to the irregularity of the existing house, they are also lifted above the ground allowing the garden to continue under them exemplifying its expanse. Connecting the existing house, pavilions and...
living stratum
Extensive refurbishment comprising of a split section to the rear. This sectional arrangement was utilised to develop a concept of a geological strata linking all spaces to the rear with its uniform and consistent finish. The strata forms a raised terrace, a kitchen, floor, wall and ceiling and a metal clad central stair element pierces through forming circulation between the levels and spaces.
tsubo +
This proposal for an extension to a family home in Dublin was informed by the client’s interest in Japanese architecture and the desire for a better connection to the west facing garden.
A courtyard garden, or tsubo-niwa as they are known throughout Japan, is positioned at the centre of the reordered home. A typical tsubo-niwa is limited in size, whereas the courtyard is, in this instance, extended and connected to the living spaces; allowing our clients to live within their garden.
Ba(t)ch
New Build home in New Zealand - a bach (pronounced batch) is a modest holiday home or beach house in New Zealand. Baches are an iconic part of the country's history and culture, where they symbolised the beach holiday lifestyle that was becoming more accessible.
Our design proposes a typical house form which is split and offset forming two wings - one used for sleeping and the other for living. The spaces offer different experiential qualities with the lower levels looking into the low level bush, the rear of...
raised ground - floor
A detached two storey house is split into two flats, each occupying a single level within the building and each occupying half of the rear garden. This results in a garden that is seldom used, overgrown and which does not provide a great aspect for our client on the ground floor.
In order to improve both the internal and external experiences, the portion of ground owned by our client is raised and becomes the floor of the living/dining space and an external terrace. This raised ground floor becomes an...
