We are very excited about this small project!
The existing house is a bungalow built in Wexford, Ireland during the 70’s and currently with a BER rating F.
The proposal includes an extension with a mezzanine floor overlooking the sea and an extensive reconfiguration of the existing layout. The form of the existing bungalow influenced the design of the new extension. The use of simple volumes and materials contributes to the contemporary design we want to achieve.
We have been adopting the principles of sustainable construction from the very start. We will continue seeking opportunities to minimise energy/water use and waste production. We will be looking at upgrading the existing fabric of the building to achieve a more energy efficient house. And we aim to specify sustainable construction products and green building materials throughout the process.
