This project involved the complete refurbishment and extension of a Listed Victorian terrace house in central Dublin. The design focused on examining how a raised ground housing style from the late Victorian era could meet the needs of modern living. Specifically, it explored how the lower and upper ground floors could be interconnected to accommodate contemporary lifestyle requirements. The main stairwell and associated return levels were altered to connect the two floors more closely, while walls at the first–floor level were reconfigured to draw daylight deep into the lower ground floor through the roof.
