This project is the latest stage in an ever evolving cluster of rural farm buildings in south east Ireland. While some of the buildings date back to the 1800s, the current dwelling house was constructed in 1912 and has retained it's use since. The building was home to 11 residents at it's peak in the 1960s and has undergone a series of modifications from adding an internal toilet in the 1950s to extensive insulation and damp remediation works in the early 2000s.

This stage creates a naturally illuminated extension to the rear of the house which incorporates a kitchen, bathroom, boot room, storage and opens the house to the garden and views towards the westerly setting sun.
