JACOBS ISLAND EXTENSION: REAR REFURBISHMENT

Form & Roofline Architecture Located in Jacobs Island, Cork, this rear extension transforms the property’s footprint through an asymmetric, multi-pitched zinc roof design. The extension pairs a sloped, return-facing canopy with a flat-roof section housing an integrated skylight, maximizing overhead daylight while keeping the structural mass proportional to the main dwelling.

Glazing & Outdoor Connection

A floor-to-ceiling glass corner wrap anchors the living area, creating an immersive view out to the garden. Adjacent to the main glass volume, warm vertical timber cladding frames a set of dark bi-fold doors that open onto a raised wooden deck, framed by integrated concrete planters and landscaped lawn zones.
