Molloy & Associates were first appointed in 2005 as project architects for this exciting conservation project. The works were completed in 2012.
The House and its adjoining, interconnected Cottage are protected structures dating from the early 18th century, with inappropriate extensions constructed in the mid-20th century.
The design process sought to achieve an architecturally compatible, accessible and environmentally sustainable family home in removing 20th century additions and creating functional kitchen, dining and utility accommodation with glazed links enhancing simplified connectivity between historic and new accommodation.
New architectural forms, finishes and compositions are drawn from extant historic elements, with an overall impression of visual unity between historic and new. All works respect the unique character of the extant grouping and its setting, thus observing best conservation practice.
Molloy & Associates were appointed in 2014 as project architects to modify and extend an early 19th century dwelling in Dublin 4. Permission was received to commence the works in June 2014, with works commencing in August 2014. The works were completed in March 2015.
Molloy & Associates were appointed in 2014 as project architects to extend and modify this 19th century family home. Modifying works revealed a structure having considerable structural defects, requiring numerous complex solutions determined on site between the contractor, Smartbuild Conservation Ltd, structural engineers CORA and this office. In avoidance of an infill extension in the space between the return and boundary wall, we instead opted to elongate the extension to contrast with the verticality of the house. As the principal entrance is accessed from a tall flight of steps, the side entrance provides a more practical, level entrance. The additional accommodation forms a canopy, extending into the side garden, drawing attention to a rear entrance. The canopy also benefits use as an all-weather covered terrace for outdoor play, storage and work.
The works were complete at the end of April 2016.
The brief to modify and extend this 1940s residence included a provision to accommodate an apartment for an elderly relative, which was rendered fully accessible to ensure independent living. The 1940s features of the main house were retained and conserved, whilst upgraded to improve thermal performance. An extension, accommodating kitchen and dining facilities retained the original harling wall of the main house to introduce texture and historic reference.
We were appointed as conservation consultants for this exciting conservation project in late 2015, with planning permissions received in June 2016 and works commencing shortly thereafter. The early Georgian townhouse comprises a prominent building on the northern side of Merrion Square. Our client sought to convert the multi-occupancy office and residential building into an Irish headquarters for its international service, retaining its residential component for guests. Phase 1 works, completed in September 2016, included re-roofing, conservation of original joinery and plasterwork, other general conservation works and internal decoration. Phase II works, which include the re-wigging of front and rear brickwork and conservation of metalwork will commence in Spring 2017.
Molloy & Associates were appointed in 2012 as conservation architects to develop an Irish Whiskey Museum in a 19th century corner building at No. 37 College Green/ 119 Grafton Street, Dublin 2. The project commenced and was completed in 2014.
Molloy & Associates were appointed by AIB Investment Managers as conservation architects for a development at the corner of O’Connell Street and Henry Street, Dublin 1 in 2008. Investigative works revealed the existence of one of the pair of townhouses surviving from the Wide Streets Commissioners era of the mid18th century, now subsumed by fragmented properties. Permission was received for the development in 2009, but the works have yet to commence.
Molloy & Associates were appointed in 2010 as conservation architects to assist Quinn Architects Ltd. in achieving the redevelopment of St. Mary’s Abbey, Glencairn, Lismore, Co. Waterford on behalf of the enclosed Cistercian sisters. The demesne dates from the 14th century, with built contributions of later Georgian and Victorian eras. The development required the demolition and replacement of inappropriate 20th century additions.
The works commenced in 2015 and will conclude in 2017.
Molloy & Associates were appointed in 2014 to design a detached dwelling on a unique site adjacent to a Special Area of Conservation. Planning consents were received in 2015 and works have commenced in April 2016.
