Complete refurbishment and extension of Victorian terraced redbrick house in Geraldine Street, Phibsboro. Many of the original period features were still intact or were restored. The entire ground floor was fitted with underfloor heating.

 



The kitchen extension to the side of the return offers a large and light flooded space for kitchen and dining area, with access to the original rear reception room. The granite window sill of the once window is re-used as a step into the study.


High gloss laminated kitchen imported from Germany. The ceiling height in ground floor returns of period houses is often very low, in this project, the floor in the kitchen was excavated and lowered to achieve a ceiling height of 2.35 m, from originally only 2.1 m, a dramatic difference to the perception of the space.



These kitchen units come pre-assembled (not flat packed) to minimise site work and are of high spec manufacturing quality..



The high spec designer sanitary ware and fittings in this house (Duravit, Geberit, Keramag) were cost effectively imported directly from Germany. The bath / shower walls are tiled with mosaic granite tiles. The shower screen is made of frameless tempered glass. The vanity unit is made by the kitchen manufacturer.

Glass roof over dining area: even though the garden is north facing, this space gets direct sunlight all day due to the single storey front of the house.


The high gloss units reflect the floor which adds to the sense of space. In the background the original chimney breast, used as a decorative alcove.
