Blackrock Extension
This 200 year old hideaway home sits on 1.5 acres off the Blackrock Road.
The original Georgian dwelling stands as five-bay, detached, two-storey house, built c.1820, with a central porch and a conservatory to the east.
On the west, a projecting, gabled-bay with a further gabled bay attached was demolished in order to construct a new extension to accommodate their family’s modern living standards.

The Linehan Architecture team were issued a brief to achieve an additional 80m2 of habitable space to accommodate the family’s kitchen, dining and living spaces.
Our design team returned with the proposal of a single-storey flat roofed extension decorated in a terracotta brick facade and cornice detailing.

Once the design was confirmed, the Linehan Construction team demolished the existing extensions and prepared raft foundations to support the new extension.
