Note: This post was previously titled ‘Extension to 1950\u2019s House in New Ross, Wexford \u2013 SketchUp Animation’. During works we\u00a0discovered the walls were not what we expected and some investigation confirmed the original house was built between 1888-1913! (The owners were not aware of this.)<\/em><\/p>\n

We feel that our proposal is like the missing piece to complete this house puzzle.<\/p>\n

The original house used to be a Council house and it was built in the 1950s. The owners had already built different extensions to the house but they left a big problem unsolved: the entrance and the circulation and flow of space within the house.<\/p>\n

They approached us to get a bigger kitchen more suitable to their lifestyle. We listened and we were sensitive to all energies we could capture. We proposed a holistic approach that embraced the existing house, respecting it and making the all space a much better place to live in.<\/p>\n

We like to think the new entrance works like the “spinal column” of the house, supporting it, organizing it and allowing the spaces to flow naturally from there.<\/p>\n

From the entrance a new wall – the “shoulders” – is built to hold the two new extensions – the “arms” – that will hug and embrace the existing house respecting it in a complacent manner.<\/p>\n
