Restoration and extension to a bungalow in West Cork, Ireland

This project is the redevelopment of an existing 1970s bungalow overlooking the views.

The clients wanted to make the most of the views and the southern orientation of the existing house.

A linear addition of new living spaces to the south of the existing house offered the best solution to make optimal use of the views, light and solar orientation, with the addition of a storey for extra bedrooms.

Massing and views towards the house were critical at the design stage, and the choice of materials helped to soften its presence in the landscape.
