Temple Road
A hand-crafted brick house on a historic road
This home, situated on one of Dublin 6’s notable roads, replaces a 1930s house with a bespoke design that respects the area’s rich architectural heritage. Renowned for its fine double-fronted brick residences, the road sets the perfect stage for a carefully crafted project that balances contemporary living with a nod to traditional design.
Handcrafted brickwork and an elegant façade—featuring arched openings, steep gabled roofs, and natural slates—reflect the neighbourhood’s historic language while blending timeless craftsmanship with modern techniques. Inside, a dramatic top-lit central hall showcases a striking staircase and gallery landing, leading to a lookout bay window. At first-floor level, vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of space under the gabled roofs.
The open-plan layout seamlessly connects bright, interconnected rooms that flow into the south-facing garden through generous glazing, creating a strong indoor-outdoor relationship. Sustainability is a core focus, with an A1 BER rating achieved through advanced insulation and renewable energy systems, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency well into the future.
This project celebrates thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship, redefining modern family living while fitting seamlessly into one of Dublin’s most distinguished neighbourhoods.
