Architect:
Henchion Reuter Architects with Shaffrey Architects
Award Type:
Adaptation and Reuse
Location:
Dublin
Award Year:
2019
Category:
Adaptation and Re-use

The meticulous restoration and adaptation of this Georgian property inspired an equally well-crafted and sophisticated mews building. Core to the success of the project is how the architects have mastered the interconnectedness of the parts in a way that is consistent with the Georgian plot arrangement of House, Garden, Courtyard and Mews. The new intervention reflects the generosity of the original. It is light filled, beautifully detailed and generously proportioned. Notwithstanding the near 250 year gap in their design, the adaptation and the intervention manage to speak the same language.
