Image Interiors

Lovely to begin the year with Image Interiors Magazine discussing our recently completed project in Balbriggan!

We were commissioned following a RIAI Simon Open Door consultation to reimagine this familiar 1970s semi-detached house. Through simple interventions the ground floor plan was redefined, changing how it is experienced.

We saw an opportunity to design a subtly curved ceiling rising high from the old house for this 9sqm extension, maximising the shallow depth and allowing the softer daylight from the northern orientation to penetrate deeper into the house. Glazed timber screens and mirrored walls allow the light to linger for longer throughout three interconnecting rooms.
