A garden room in Dublin 9 bridges the gap to the outdoors, and creates a relaxing media-free space in the process.
Often a project that seeks to extend a home, starts as one addition, but ends up being a total overhaul of the house. Not so in this 33-square-metre garden room extension from“Straight away you see there’s so much to borrow and build on,” Shane says, by phone. “There are times you want to preserve a feeling in a house and you don’t want to upset it too much. There was definitely a level of quality here that we had to match.
As such, the original layout of the house was maintained and its parquet floors were continued throughout. Openings from the kitchen and dining room to the garden, which had been a window and French doors, became openings into the brick garden room.
While choosing brick is always a weighty decision, Shane says equal consideration needs to go into the mortar. “We have used that very same brick in other projects; with white mortar and with grey sand and cement, and it’s like a different brick. A lot of effort goes into the clients trying to figure out what’s the best brick-and-mortar combination, and to ensure it all sits happily together. “Shane mentions Alvar Aalto.
