It was important that design also created a homely environment that did not feel overly clinical. The heating is underfloor and the dwelling is orientated on the site maximise the benefit of sun and light.

Kildorerry - Old Butchers shop turned into a contemporary kitchen dining space - Renovation & Extension by CBA Architects Cork This retired butcher’s shop, in Kildorerry, North Cork, had character and its owners knew it too. When they went about looking for an Architect they found CBA Architects as their best fit, from an article written in the Cork Examiner about a previously designed house by the Cork Architects. The brief here was to design a space for the family, retain the character of the shop front and create a connection between inside and out with the garden to the rear. A winter garden was introduced internally, behind the shop front, not only to act as a winter garden but also as buffer to sound from the adjoining street, and to help retain heat in the main Kitchen/living quarters.

The owners of this dwelling approached CBA Architects based on seeing some of our work around Cork and on seeing an article in the Irish Examiner on a dwelling designed for a client in Tipperary. The clients asked CBA Architects to re-design their existing Cork based home, to transform it both inside and out and to include an extension to incorporate an open plan living space for the family. A key feature in the open plan kitchen/living dining area is the sunken living space giving it a true sense of definition within the overall space. Other key features in this dwelling are the kitchen design and its finish, along with the bespoke open thread staircase with glass balustrade and polished stainless steel handrail, which is a standout element in the entrance hall and sets the tone for what’s to come in this Cork suburban home.

This existing rural farmhouse type building needed to be brought to life. The owners had an expanding family and needed additional space and more efficient use of the space already available to them. We designed a revised layout to include extensions that complement the existing structure and provided natural day light into key areas of the dwelling. Given the brief on this design build, the budget on this project was quite tight but the overall result maximised value for money on the project.

Enniscoush, Limerick: House Extension and Renovation This dwelling was a really interesting design to be involved in and brought us into a rare realm of New England type Architecture. This house extension and renovation project consisted of upgrading the home, creating some additional space, making better use of the existing space with regard to natural light in kitchen and living areas along with creating a better flow between spaces. All with the New England style in mind. The results of plastering over existing quoins and the introduction of timber cladding with an American style deck work well to achieve the New England look. Location: Enniscoush, Limerick Contractor: Direct Labour Status: Completed
