A large redevelopment of this seaside house in Clontarf, this project aims to create a home for entertainment. We designed an extension to the rear with sliding doors that open the living room to the garden and covered outdoor seating facing the garden. The kitchen becomes the focal point of the house. It comfortably occupies the space between the major living areas of the home. The large light well in the middle of the plan drops beautiful sunlight into the kitchen and emphasises the links within the house by creating a visual and physical connection between the first floor landing and the ground floor living areas.
While creating these large open areas were important, we also focused on intimate spaces and moments within the project. The small terrace to the front of the house, accessible from the master bedroom, overlooks Dublin Bay and enjoys the warmth of the East and South sun.
