Salthill Period Townhouse

We’re delighted that this renovation, completed with Arden Homes, has been shortlisted. Previously used as offices, this period townhouse has been brought back to life as a family home, with period features reinstated alongside thoughtful new additions.

Inside, smoked oak parquet floors and specially designed high skirting boards sit alongside softly rounded walls enclosing a neatly tucked-away utility. Separate his and hers bathrooms feature beautiful terrazzo floors, adding texture and character.

One of the greatest transformations was the garden. Previously separate from the house and reached by an old staircase, it sat above a high wall facing the new extension. Excavating it back to create a layered, tiered garden was a mammoth undertaking—with no rear access, a tiny digger and all the soil and rock had to come through the house.

The result is a beautiful connection between the garden and the interior, bringing light, greenery and views into the home.

A project we thoroughly enjoyed, and a credit to the craftsmanship and hard work of everyone involved.

“The Legend of the Wallaby”, by Cecilia Danell.🌿

As part of the Cairn Arts Programme, we work with artists to create projects that enhance public spaces, celebrate local identity and foster a stronger sense of connection within communities.👫

3 bronze, powder coated wallaby sculptures have been commissioned for The Ridge, Donabate.

Just across the water on Lambay Island, a small colony of wallabies has quietly thrived for decades. Rarely seen yet widely spoken of, they have become part of local folklore.🍄

These life-size sculptures bring that story to The Ridge, a gentle nod, belonging and the idea that new communities create their own lasting legends of the nearby ecosystem and wildlife. 🍃

Building communities where people can thrive✨

Period Townhouse Restoration

Some projects take a little more imagination than others.

In this case, the rear garden was completely detached and not functioning as usable space. With no side access to the back, everything had to be planned and excavated before the extension works began — including bringing a mini digger through the house just to get started.

A huge amount of groundwork went in early on to reshape and reconnect the rear of the home, making better use of what was there and setting it up for the build that followed.

The extension is a pure joy with all the natural light , polished concrete , steel doors , beautiful Art paired together with some artisan pieces from the owners travels .

The amazing garden deserves a post of its own, but for now here’s a glimpse of a home that feels brighter, more connected, and more in tune with the way its owners live.
