This development in Rolestown, North County Dublin, was land connected to an existing house, offering the opportunity to create two new dwellings. One is a proposed bungalow designed for downsizers, prioritizing energy efficiency. The functional design of this 2-bedroom house incorporates extensive glazing, providing views of the garden and orchard surrounds. To maintain privacy from the road, evergreen trees screen the house, while the low-lying, distinctive red tile roof minimizes visual impact.

A key feature is a large skylight, bringing natural light into the centre of the house. The construction includes a low embodied carbon timber frame, high insulation levels, underfloor heating, and renewable technology. Beyond its sustainable features, this dwelling offers a serene environment, ideal for contemplation and tranquillity.
