Remodeling Hill House in Dalkey Village by De Blacam and Meagher Architects Posted: 12 Apr 2013 05:07 AM PDT De Blacam and Meagher Architects was remodel house on a hillside in Dalkey with magnificent views from Poolbeg to Bray Head. The very rigid floor plan militated against re-planning and as the house needed significant improvements we decided to remove it from the site. The new house was designed to maximize the qualities of the site and accommodation in the brief while retaining the single storey street frontage. Kitchen and dining are to the south with a loggia for shelter and privacy. To the rear a large living room and roof terrace look north towards Howth.Read the description from the architects after the images. Description from the Architects. “….The two main outcrops formed the loci for the positioning of the new dwelling. These outcrops are connected to the dwelling by bridges that allow direct access from the first floor and also screen the private gardens to the rear. The thick granite walls to the ground floor wrap the accommodation in a protective wall. This wall is punctured at the entrance with a full height hardwood paneled lobby. The stone is continued internally with solid granite architraves and piers used on the ground floor. The solid doors fold back during the day to allow light into the entrance hallway thought the glazed screen doors behind. The stone walls to the ground floor are contrasted at first floor level by a lighter rendered pavilion type structure. An early decision not to fully glaze the first floor and instead frame the views in each space is expressed through the recessed bays and structural piers visible on the elevation. A simple lead capping completes the first floor elevations. At first floor level a dining hall / atrium forms the focal point of the floor and is top lit by a 9metre long openable stainless steel rooflight. Full height sliding screens throughout allow the spaces to be altered if required. The flooring throughout is Italian navona travertine and the staircase is a cantilevered solid marble staircase with a stainless steel balustrading.” The post Remodeling Hill House in Dalkey Village by De Blacam and Meagher Architects appeared first on Home & House Design Ideas | Interior.

The Saide Residence in Sagaponack by BNOdesign Posted: 11 Apr 2013 05:08 PM PDT This 6,700 square foot cedar shingled home located in Sangapoback NY, created by BNOdesign. This home looks very strict outside but is very airy and warm inside. The whole interior is done in very light creme color theme. Such color choice is very cute but has some disadvantages. One wing houses the sprawling master suite. The other wing encompasses the breakfast room and service areas, followed by the sunroom, which functions as a quasi pool house. Although the furniture is so carefully chosen that the house will survive any party. A lot of it is upholstered with leather while other surfaces like kitchen cabinets are made of durable materials. – BNOdesign The post The Saide Residence in Sagaponack by BNOdesign appeared first on Home & House Design Ideas | Interior.
