Portobello

Located in Portobello, Dublin 8, this project involves the renovation and extension of a typical Victorian villa-style terraced houses for a young family.

The descending passage from the street down to the living areas gives the house a distance and sense of removal from the city.

We extracted the maximum volume of house through excavating the main ground floor down to create a partly sunken 5-metre high kitchen-dining space, with south light entering overhead through the existing bay windows.

At the opposite end, the house opens onto a private courtyard with a third garden room looking back towards the main house.

Bathrooms look through mirrored glazing and densely planted flowerbeds into the central courtyard.
