Isabel Barros Architects proposal for an extension to a detached dwelling house, Gorey, Wexford, Ireland.

The Black Box is a contemporary extension that complements the existing house in a bold yet harmonious way.

A refined interplay of metal, brick and render creates a balanced dialogue between old and new.

The massing, scale and form were carefully shaped to enhance function and bring generous natural light into the home.

A custom-built pizza oven, integrated using the same material palette, reinforces the architectural unity of the scheme.
