Normal House / T O B Architect

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 17 Jun 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Normal House is straightforward. It extends to the side and rear of the house to provide a utility area, wc, and new kitchen. On the first floor the extension crosses the back wall of the existing house to create two bay window study areas to the tiny existing bedrooms. The internal ground floor walls are removed and replaced with two large sliding partitions. The project began around the same time as a trip to London to visit the social housing of Neave Brown, and that inspiring trip greatly influenced the materials and layout of the house.

Andreas Luco — Fri, 14 Jun 2019 02:00:00 +0000

The Irish countryside is divided into parcels of land called townlands. This house is situated in the townland of Killan and is built on a hill on the client’s farm. The house is square in plan, the footprint being approximately 12m x 12m. It takes references from the Casino at Marino, the 18th century Neo-classical house by Architect William Chambers. Though much smaller ‘The Casino’ (small house) is a derivation of Palladio’s Villa Rotunda. both being square Greek cross plans, and both offering four equivalent elevations to the surrounding open landscape.

The starting point for this project is a problematic suburban type house without merit, that has been dropped on a green field site without consideration of its context.
