This dormer semi-detached house in Terenure was in poor repair and required an extensive remodel and extension. The brief was to increase the accommodation with a large open plan kitchen/ dining/ living space to the rear, service spaces to the side and three bedrooms within the large attic space.



The existing raised timber floor was removed and a new slab was poured to increase the floor to ceiling height. The ground-floor plan was simplified with a study facing the front garden and all other living spaces facing the rear and enjoying the benefit of a southerly aspect. The bedrooms on the first floor are accessed off a wide landing with a new master bedroom facing the garden. Garage and utility spaces are located to the side.

​

The house is finished in white pebble dash with contrasting black aluminium windows, doors and cladding. Internally the house is finished in white plaster with the hallway and stairs clad in stained hardwood.
