Temple Road

A hand-crafted brick house on a historic road

The house sits gracefully within its context, blending traditional and modern design. The model highlights how the new build respects Dublin 6's architectural character.

A detailed view of the home's timeless brick facade, showcasing its double-fronted design, arched windows, and gabled roofs.

This home, on one of Dublin 6’s most distinguished roads, replaces a 1930s house with a bespoke design that respects the area’s rich architectural heritage. Known for its fine double-fronted brick residences, the street provides a fitting context for a project that balances contemporary living with traditional design.

Handcrafted brickwork, arched openings, steep gabled roofs, and natural slates echo the historic language of the area. A top-lit central hall reveals a dramatic staircase and gallery landing, leading to a lookout bay. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings add volume beneath the gables.

Inside, an open-plan layout connects bright, flowing rooms to a south-facing garden through generous glazing, strengthening the indoor-outdoor link. Sustainability is central, with an A1 BER rating achieved through high-performance insulation and renewable systems.

This project celebrates quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design, redefining modern family living in a setting of enduring architectural character.
