Naas Extension/ Full Architectural Service Studio

Situated on an exclusive avenue in Co. Kildare, this project involved the complete overhaul of a traditional "Bungalow Bliss" home to meet the contemporary needs of its new owners. RSDS Architects reimagined the residence, starting with relocating the main entrance to a central position, enhancing both balance and flow.

The original integrated garage was replaced with a sleek, rectangular extension set perpendicular to the existing structure, creating distinct zones within the home. A striking zinc-clad entrance now divides the original building from the new addition, introducing a modern aesthetic.

The front façade received a complete makeover, featuring natural stone cladding for timeless appeal. Re-proportioned windows and a new bay window add depth and visual interest.

Inside, the extension houses a double-height living area illuminated by clerestory windows, fostering an airy ambiance. A mezzanine above the kitchen offers additional functional space while maintaining openness.

Large sliding glass doors and expansive windows strengthen the connection between interior spaces and the mature surrounding landscape, facilitating seamless indoor-outdoor living.

This transformation exemplifies how dated homes can be revitalized into architecturally pleasing, functional spaces. By blending traditional materials like stone with contemporary elements such as zinc and modern glazing, RSDS Architects have crafted a light-filled family home tailored to its owners' modern lifestyle.

Completed in January 2019

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
