This brick addition project is a contemporary extension on a typical Ranelagh redbrick terrace by NOJI Architects, located in Ranelagh, an urban village on the south side of Dublin, Ireland. Although simple and to the point, this small extension showcases some wonderful features that you are sure to love. The lighting turns this simple kitchen extension [pictured above] into a wonderful space. This fabulous home has also received an award in 2014 for its unique design concept, Commended in the RIAI ‘Best House Extension’ category.

The outside lighting on the mature trees and gardens warms the whole environment. And what an beautiful coach house too!

This north facing extension to a protected structure in Dublin 6 is pivotal in connecting the existing house to the garden and the original mews beyond. The design recesses the upper bathroom block into the lower kitchen block to minimize the overall height while the pitched roofs maximize the internal volumes.

The massing of the volumns responds to the scale of the existing house and simultaneously steps downwards towards the garden.

Inside is a combination of cool Scandinavian style furnishings and creatively contrasting ebony-ivory fitted units and worktops.
