The project brief was to refurbish and extend a 1920’s cottage. The new extension acknowledges the proportion and form of the existing cottage. A “slipped” plan creates a serpentine arrangement of exterior spaces. A south-west facing patio off the dining space creates an outdoor room to be enjoyed in the summertime. To the front of the house, a low lying wall creates a welcoming entry courtyard on arrival. The windows in the dining space and living room have been placed carefully to allow the views across the valley to be enjoyed from within the house.

Bá é mionteagaisc an tionscadail na tigh ó na 1920í a athchóiriú agus a mhéadú. Aithnionn an síneadh cruth agus comhréir an teach atá ann cheanna. Déanann plean “sleamhnach” leagan amach nathairín do spásanna atá taobh amuigh. Cruthaíonn an patió iar-deisceart in aice an seomra bia seomra taobh amuigh gur feidir úsaid i rith an tsamhraidh. Os comhair an tí tá balla íseal a chruthaíonn cearnóg bhealach isteach ata fáilteach agus tú ag teacht. Tá na fuinneoga sa seomra bia agus an seomra suite cúrtha isteach go cúrmach chun gur féidir taitneamh a bhaint as na radharcanna den ghleann ó taobh istigh don teach.
