Glentora

New house, Howth, Co. Dublin

Project Completed

Year: 2023

A new house built on the site of a former tram cottage. The forms and organisation of the new dwelling echo those of the original house with materials selected to allow the house settle into its context. A tower-volume formed in Howth Stone captures views along the eastern coast to the Mourne Mountains while to the rear the house folds and sits into the landscape with stepped volumes, terraces and courtyards.
