Donnybrook

Our clients bought a handsomely proportioned Georgian bungalow in Dublin, Ireland and wanted to extend the property into the large rear garden to provide more generous living accommodation.

310studio have added a new master bedroom with en-suite and fabulous new kitchen, living and dining spaces to the existing residence.

A few key design ideas:

• The design evolved to create a staggered plan, orientated to catch the midday and evening sun, that allows all principal living spaces to be physically connected to an outside space, be it terrace or garden.
• A clear visual line is created that allows you to see right through the house to the rear garden from the moment you step in the front door.
• A flat ceiling with large rooflights is proposed over the kitchen and dining whilst the roof kicks up at a slope over the main living space, rising with the lie of the garden beyond.
• A fireplace is located on the rear wall with large windows either side overlooking the back garden. This placement of the home-fire at the heart of the living space resonates with the original layout when the Georgian cottages were first built.
