Overlapping Spaces Design, Plastic House inDublin by Architecture Republic 02

A house is excavated and a space created. The insertion of an object allows inhabitation. The project begins with removal – of the existing extension, internal walls and earth – bringing the entire house to lower ground-floor level. This opens the volume of the house as a double-height vessel, full of light. A cruciform object is inserted; a piece of architectural furniture which spreads tree-like from a concentrated base. The fourth branch extends through the rear wall and projects two meters beyond it housing a shower room, which is glazed to the sky, reminiscence of the traditional “Georgian return typology”.

A ledge running along the perimeter wall downstairs expresses the retaining wall which was built against the street and neighbouring houses – this doubles as a shelf for the display of books and artifacts in the living and dining areas. Opening out from this ground floor is a generous garden with a simple rendered wall, which hides a secret reading room and bathing area. This private realm extends visually to the rear of the site through a glazed wall, which can be opened allowing for sheltered outdoor bathing. A complex series of interconnected and overlapping spaces is set up by the architectural insertion and its projections.
