Ryan + Lamb Architects worked to preserve as many of the original features as possible, while creating extra space with a new extension
This Georgian home was in need of renovation when its owners bought it, and they turned to Dublin-based. The building had many of its original features intact, but some were in need of repair.
The firm’s design involved adding a contemporary extension and sensitively restoring the original fabric of the house including brickwork, plaster details, sash windows and timber joinery. They also converted a mid-level landing and box room into a walk-in wardrobe and en suite to create a master bedroom suite to the front of the house with a restored bay window.sensitively integrating the old and new.
The main bedroom has a deep blue colour on the walls, echoed by the curtain fabric, while the curtain lining is white and speaks to the joinery. While in the extension, the palette was kept simple – white walls, a light marmoleum floor and black window frames – as the brick and outdoor planting provide colour and texture.The building contractor, Charlie Curtis, was fantastic to work with. His attention to detail ensured that our design and conservation brief was executed perfectly. So you walk into a home that’s a century old but has a feeling of being new. It’s a wonderful feeling.
