scout island residence

A great one by alter studio. Love the wraparound outdoor design. Loots of green views from anywhere in the house.

Villa in Rathmines

This Victorian house, is defined by its generous, well proportioned and orthogonal original spaces. Within the project, the existing architecture is retained and its functionality augmented through the use of simple well-defined contemporary forms and insertions for living, bathing and dressing.

Through the use of a limited palette of materials and simple inobtrusive forms, these interventions read as contemporary and distinct, while retaining the spirit and generous nature of the existing spaces of the house without being overbearing

This end of terrace Victorian two-storey over basement house in south Dublin required modernization and additional space for the needs of the clients growing family.

The brief was to provide additional multifunctional living space and bedroom accommodation not provided for within the original house. The existing two-storey return was at a scale not befitting such a large house with cramped internal dimensions making the spaces unusable.

Within this suburban end of terrace double-breasted period house the rear return is remodeled and a new external pavilion designed to provide contemporary garden focused living spaces.

The masonry mass of the back wall of the rear return of the original house acted as a barrier to the garden at both ground and first floor level, once removed a new granite terrace is laid addressing the garden, above which floats a folding and cranked roof plane, clad in zinc and anchored to the ground at key moments. The roof encloses the internal volumes and defines the intermediate courts between the old house and the new pavilion.

Woody

Catherine Werdel's dresser woody consists of two parts. The upper one can be moved in both directions. That develops a new additional surface, which can be used as file or as seat opportunity. Via Design Don't Panic.
