O Hogain Residence, Dublin
1999 - 2000
NJBA Architects & Urban Designers
The extension is evidence of
the family's desire to expand the nature of living and to integrate
their lives with nature , llight and space. Many of these projects
have been designed with a view towards new forms of construction
and new methods of procurement, prefabrication etc.. This small
garden room has a "heat engine" as part of the design,
based around a stove where energy form both the sun and the stove
will be used to provide supplemental heat for the whole house.
The frame structure also allows it to occupy the ground without
disturbing the existing underground services.
