Project Dates: 2024-
Use: Private House
Type: Refurbishment & Addition
Status: Planning
Gross Internal Area: 220 sqm / 2368 sqft
Client: Private
An existing bungalow typical of the bungalow bliss era will undergo a major refurbishment to bring it up to modern comfort and needs of a multi-generational family.
Inspired by traditional rural farmsteads that are dotted all over the Dingle Peninsula, the refurbished house adopts an L-shaped, introverted courtyard typology designed to shelter a south-facing garden. This ‘outdoor room’ is shared by all of the surrounding spaces, providing light, ventilation and circulation, as well as providing shelter from the weather that sweeps in directly off the Atlantic Ocean.
The original bungalow's existing wet-dash external walls are preserved where possible, maintaining a connection to the past and celebrating the palimpsest of its plasterwork as horizontal strata. Inside, a unified timber roof spans the interior, echoing the design of traditional barn structures, creating a reassuring sense of enclosure and crafting an interior that feels both secure and inviting.
