was approached by the owners of this 1930s Raheny home, they wanted to modernise it and create more space through an extension, without compromising the character of the original house.
“The original modernist building was simple in its form and restrained in its palette. A smooth-rendered, white painted, flat roofed, simple volume structure with Crittall steel framed windows. The new extension carries through the smooth rendered, white painted materiality and flat roofs – to the rear we created a central waterfall window with large slim frame sliding doors to either side. We replaced the windows to the front of the building with crittall style windows.
“We picked a terrazzo slab which had a black background to tie in with the kitchen, and was composed of four classical Italian marbles in hues of greens, yellows, reds and blues. We continued these colour tones in other moments of the project, with shades of green, yellow, red and blue used to stain the maple fitted furniture in each room. Each bathroom is fitted with a different shade of terrazzo tile. So there is a continuation of colour and materiality but in a restrained way.
