Timber Wrap Extension

Timber Wrap Extension
Location : Drumcondra, Dublin

Status : full planning permission granted August 2005

A new timber framed/clad extension was proposed to the front, side and rear of an end of terrace house which bordered a park. This new addition ‘wraps around’ the existing dwelling providing much needed additional space whilst also allowing it to open up to the rear garden. It commences in the form of an entrance porch (incl. wetroom) to the front, a new rooflit corridor/link to the side leading to a new living/dining room to the rear. A rooflight is proposed at the junction between the new extension and the existing house to allow daylight into the middle of the plan where the kitchen island is positioned.

The proposal also included a projecting bay window to the side of the house at first floor level increasing the size of the undersized master bedroom and also allowing east and west light into this room. Garden equipment can be stored in a shed/storage wall along the width of rear boundary wall freeing up space in the garden.
