Extension to House Over 100 Years Old in New Ross, Wexford
This old house required internal reconfigurations to make the circulation work. The brief asked for a bigger kitchen - the result was much more than that. Two extensions were created and the front door relocated.
The original house is over 100 years old.
The owners had already built different extensions to the house, including a dominant cylindrical/conical volume.
They approached us to get a bigger kitchen more suitable to their lifestyle.
We proposed a holistic approach that embraced the existing house, respecting it and making the all space a much better place to live in.
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.
From the entrance a new external 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.
