Ballina 2013

This project involved the refurbishment and extension of an existing house.

The existing house was located on a very sensitive elevated site overlooking the Lough Derg.

The proposed extension was devised to respect the character of the existing house, and ensure it nestled in a subtle fashion alongside the original buildings on the site.

The aesthetic is very paired back and simple.

The construction is a hybrid of timber-frame and masonry retained walls.

Externally the house combines local slate stone with areas of cedar and zinc cladding.

The proposed works are due for completion in 2014.
