Our Four Winds project was featured on Archello, where it was selected as one of 20 houses from around the world highlighted in December 2024.
The project involves the refurbishment and re-working of a 1940s seaside bungalow in Sutton, Co. Dublin, designed to accommodate the third and fourth generations of the same family. Enjoying south-facing views across Dublin Bay, the house was carefully adapted to support contemporary family living while remaining grounded in its coastal setting.
Materials and forms are informed by nearby landmarks, including the Martello Tower, St Fintan’s Church by Andy Devane, and the 13th-century Chapel of Mone in Kilbarrack. These references helped shape an architectural response rooted in place and attentive to the character of the surrounding environment.
The project reflects a broader interest in reuse and sensitive adaptation, allowing an existing house to evolve through considered intervention rather than replacement. Four Winds forms part of a wider body of residential work that engages with context, continuity, and long-term family occupation.
The project was also selected for a Special Mention at the 2025 Architizer A+ Awards and formed part of the Irish Architecture Foundation’s 2024 Open House Dublin programme. It has been featured across a range of international and national platforms, including IMAGE Interiors, Elle Decoration UK, Architectural Record, ArchDaily, and Architizer.
We are very grateful to Archello for including Four Winds in their international selection and for the opportunity to share the project with a global audience.
