Using white-washed Ash, a folding wall of bronze anodized aluminium, and a high level mirror-clad light box, this previously dark lower-ground floor of a Protected Structure in Dublin 6 becomes illuminated and welcoming.

The proposal introduces a stepped sectional extension with a high level window drawing light deep into the heart of the plan and providing a welcome view of the sky from the inside. At the garden edge a lower seating area with a continuous glazed folding screen allows access to a herb garden for the kitchen.
