Hope you all had a good Christmas and a I hope you have a great 2014.<\/p>\n

Here’s a tiled mosaic\/slideshow of some of the projects I’ve been working on in 2013. This is what I do – architect for:<\/p>\n

\u2022 One-off houses
\n\u2022 Extensions
\n\u2022 Refurbishments
\n\u2022 Restorations<\/p>\n

Nearly all residential, rural properties in the West of Ireland; including: County Mayo Roscommon Sligo Galway Longford & Clare<\/p>\n

\"Extension
Extension & restoration to County Mayo Cottage (Olanning only) <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"View
Here we can see the stepped facade, the glazing and the south light streaming through in this location. <\/div> <\/div>
\"Refurbishment
Refurbishment & extensions to dormer bungalow; County Mayo <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"The
The main section of ‘new bit’, separated from the existing by a 1.0m ‘buffer’ zone. Rather than collide the new into the old, this ‘buffer’ gives a gentler transition between the two. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Refurbishment
Refurbishment & extension to County Galway House – AFTER <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"planning_elevation\"
The accompanying front elevation. The planning application will include all elevations (even if unchanged) and sections through the building. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

Yet another step closer – insulation going in this week – glazing next (hopefully) <\/div> <\/div>

\"Interior

\"glazing_detail\"
Glazing detail from recently completed house extension in County Clare. Here we see stepped glazing with inverted mono-pitch roof together with the 1.0m buffer zone. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Buffer
Here we see the ‘buffer zone’ from the other side; the intention was to create a lighter glazed transition zone that creates a gentle abutment to the existing house. It’s particularly effective on this side with the larger double rooflights above the vertical glazed panel. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Closer
This closer view of the glazing detail shows the key concepts of the design: to push the eye out towards the sea (hence the inverted gull-wing roof) and the stepped glass to capture valuable south light and heat yet also make the most of the magnificent views on this location. <\/div> <\/div>

The separation of old from new, double height glazed panel and asymmetric windows <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"House
House of Peacefulness now occupied, for more info visit http:\/\/www.marylynch.ie <\/div> <\/div>
\"Refurbishment
Refurbishment & extension to County Galway House – BEFORE <\/div> <\/div>
\"View
Here we see the stepped glazed facade at the open-plan living\/dining\/kitchen area. The concept behind the gull-wing roof was to draw your eye out towards the sea views. You can also sea how the south light penetrates the space in these stepped areas <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Curved
Curved wall\/barge\/flashing detail <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"View
The square footage of the existing house has been increased by over 200% but the extensions understand the scale and proportion of the existing house. They are not trying to be identical; just showing a little politeness to the existing cottage. <\/div> <\/div>
\"Two
Two storey modernist extension to contemporary farmhouse <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"View
Influenced by Mies, Le Corbusier, Neutra or Schindler? <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

New House – Westport, County Mayo <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Liscannor
A wardrobe is beyond the internal Liscannor stone wall which again maximises the view out to the sea by housing a downlit, vertically rotating internal window <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Approach
This shows the approach to the house, the central section is the existing and the parts to left and right are new. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"1.0m
The 1.0m buffer zone described above also creates a line of sight through the house. From front to back, through an internal glass door on through to the view beyond to the sea. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
