The lot on this home and its location to the walk-able downtown the client wanted to make this their own personal residence. With this in mind, we needed to open up the house to its original single residence function. We also needed to add a family room, expanded kitchen, master suite, and a garage space. The lot was large enough to incorporate all of the spaces and a small pool in the rear. The owners also wanted to update the exterior finishes to give it a more traditional feel and add curb appeal. We added a front covered porch and sitting area to give the front of the home a more welcoming appearance. In the rear, the additions helped open up the kitchen, family room, and master suite with large glass areas over-looking a private rear yard and small pool.

Overview
Extension and complete refurbishment.
The Brief
The existing house had very shallow rooms with a need for more depth throughout the property by extending into the rear garden which is large and south facing. We were to look at extending to the rear and to the end of the property, where we had redundant garden space, to maximise the footprint and yield a series of WOW factor spaces maximising the value of the house.
The brief requested 4 bedrooms plus a luxurious guest space with separate access; large, open plan living spaces with large kitchen/entertaining area, utility and larder; family bathroom space and a high specification ensuite to two bedrooms. In addition, we were to create balconies overlooking a beautiful garden and design a ‘kerb appeal’ frontage facing the sought-after street location.
Buildings of this age lend themselves to use of natural materials like handmade tiles, good quality bricks and external insulation/render systems with timber windows. We specified high quality materials to achieve a highly desirable look which has become a hit on Houzz.
Our Solution
One of our specialisms is the refurbishment and extension of detached 1930’s properties.
Taking the existing small rooms and lack of relationship to a large garden we added a double height rear extension to both ends of the plan and a new garage annex with guest suite.
We wanted to create a view of, and route to the garden from the front door and a series of living spaces to meet our client’s needs. The front of the building needed a fresh approach to the ordinary palette of materials and we re-glazed throughout working closely with a great build team.

Overview
A new build house on the site of a tired bungalow.
The Brief
Create a brand new house with mid-century modern design cues.
5 bedrooms including 2-3 en-suites and a range of circulation and living spaces to inspire.
Our Solution
The moment we met this client we wanted to work with them and we continue to do so today. A space creator and visionary designer himself, we knew we’d have to come up with some new ideas and explore all options on a narrow site.
Light was an issue, the deep plan needed a way of pulling in light and giving a sense of height to the main circulation spaces. We achieved this by notching out the centre of one side of the plan, adding mezzanine decks off the stairwell and working in the bedrooms over 3 floors.
The glamour of this scheme is in the combination of all of the living space – not in large rooms. We investigated several colour pallets and materials boards before settling on the warmer and handmade aesthetic.
We love this scheme and the furnishing completed by the client…

BALLYROAN PASTORAL CENTRE
Introduction
The client, South County Council approached our office to refurbish and extend the existing library of Marian Road in Ballyroan, Rathfarnham in 2006. Part of the brief involved the refurbishing the existing community centre, which was in need of upgrading to modern space and environmental standards and additional pastoral facilities.
The church and environs are protected structures and it became quite evident early on that the extent of area required for the pastoral element was too large and a separate building was required. This was somewhat dictated by the area required but also by the presence of the boiler house and cast insitu chimney which was retained and became a focus to the new civic space.
site context
The church was constructed in the late 1960’s by architect Raymond F Mac Donnell and is a very fine example of 1960’s church architecture and well worth a detour with an elegant structure and very impressive modern stained glass windows. The existing community centre sits on the church site. The library is somewhat hidden behind a 1950’s local centre which is in need of updating. The combination of the sites provides for an ‘L’ shaped site. The library is on hold but hopefully should be realised in the not too distant future.
Site Layout
The concept when three buildings were established was to create a new sequence of public spaces and draw people in from the front of the church by the community centre into a shared central square and into the Library.
Pastoral Centre
The initial idea was to create a spiritual building which was private, a solid element carved out or punched to create light and privacy. A 25 year old anniversary Oak tree was retained and sparked off the idea to create a building arranged around internal courtyards with the oak tree located in the largest courtyard.
As it is a spiritual and sometimes private building. It was important that views in and out were controlled to avoid disturbances and very selective openings where provided to maintain this privacy.
Courtyards have obscure glass or are focused internally, openings with clear glass provide glimpses from within and from the outside, the main entrance, fully open able doors from the main hall for use in larger gatherings, the flush square window to the west to the large meeting room and the high level sky view window over the kitchen. All windows are kept flush except for the high level kitchen window to maintain the solid feel
To signify that the building is open a large timber pivot door is opened leading one into a low stone lined entry space with a simple bench for one to sit and gather. the timber element continues as an open set of fins to create an open yet enclosed transition entry space. The building materials are carefully limited to create a calm spiritual feeling, simple rendered walls, timber doors which one touches, stone floors and simple glazed screens affording views into the inner courtyards. Rooflights are arranged to highlight the movement of light, again signifying the spiritual nature of the building.
After entering through the lower covered area one arrives into a taller space, the coffee and tea area with a small kitchen at the end allowing people to gather. the large hall has full height doors that allow for different room layouts and privacy when required and fold neatly back into the designed location.
The building volume reduces as you enter the more private areas of the building, the first small room, a prayer room with its own small courtyard. Further along a glimpse of the larger tree filled courtyard starts to appear. Three more public rooms are arranged around this inner sanctum, the end of which has an obscure glazed screen to provide privacy and allow a plays of light. The last room is the priest’s room, which has its own private courtyard with obscure glass screen to the outside. The toilets and main office are roof lit.
Ballyroan Community & Youth Centre
There is an image of the refurbished building on the panels in context with the church. The layouts have been improved and rationalised and arranged around the retained pitched roof main hall area which mimicked the church.
Energy
The building are conceived as being very energy efficient and close to passive house standards with elemental U values of 0.16 w/m2k and the building has achieved an A2 BER rating.

Design First Interiors
The key living spaces of this mountainside house are nestled in an intimate proximity to a granite outcrop on one side while opening to expansive distant views on the other.
Situated at the top of a mountain in the Laurentians with a commanding view of the valley below; the architecture of this house was well situated to take advantage of the site. This discrete siting within the terrain ensures both privacy from a nearby road and a powerful connection to the rugged terrain and distant mountainscapes. The client especially likes to watch the changing weather moving through the valley from the long expanse of the windows. Exterior materials were selected for their tactile earthy quality which blends with the natural context. In contrast, the interior has been rendered in subtle simplicity to bring a sense of calm and serenity as a respite from busy urban life and to enjoy the inside as a non-competing continuation of nature’s drama outside. An open plan with prismatic spaces heightens the sense of order and lightness.
The interior was finished with a minimalist theme and all extraneous details that did not contribute to function were eliminated. The first principal room accommodates the entry, living and dining rooms, and the kitchen. The kitchen is very elegant because the main working components are in the pantry. The client, who loves to entertain, likes to do all of the prep and plating out of view of the guests. The master bedroom with the ensuite bath, wardrobe, and dressing room also has a stunning view of the valley. It features a his and her vanity with a generous curb-less shower stall and a soaker tub in the bay window. Through the house, the built-in cabinets, custom designed the bedroom furniture, minimalist trim detail, and carefully selected lighting; harmonize with the neutral palette chosen for all finishes. This ensures that the beauty of the surrounding nature remains the star performer.
