Project Overview
The proposed development consists of comprehensive works to a protected structure, involving sensitive renovation and reconfiguration of a private residence in Dublin 6. The project includes a modern two-storey rear extension and part single-storey extension, replacement of internal staircases, and demolition of existing secondary structures to allow for a new layout across multiple floors.
The scheme introduces a new single-storey glazed link at garden level and extensive internal restructuring, including formation of new rooms and revised floor levels, upgraded thermal and structural performance, and improved spatial flow between floors. Associated works include a new connection from front to rear at lower level, a revised stair and hall configuration, new bathroom and bedroom suites, upgraded floor finishes, and kitchen relocation.
External interventions include the removal of external terrace levels, new rooflights, rear facade alterations, and partial rebuilding of existing chimneys. Conservation measures are incorporated throughout, including brickwork restoration, chimney stack repairs, and window upgrades in line with best conservation practice. Additional elements include accessible W.C. integration, upgraded storage, minor landscaping revisions to the rear garden, and services upgrades throughout.
This scheme ensures the preservation of historic character while enhancing the functionality and spatial quality of a family home in a highly desirable, protected area.
