Modern House Bounded By The Sea by de Blacam and Meagher

This house is situated in Dalkey and bounded by the sea and Dalkey Island. The house is designed in modest style but on the site with complex geometry. SImple entrance is designed to surprise visitors by dramatic views from the terrace at the other side of the house. It’s protected against the sea by concrete framed structure and has a tidal rock-pool. The concrete sea retaining walls are re-clad using old granite rocks from the site to create a continuous, uninterrupted sea wall. The house has not only luxury views but everything that luxury house should have: the screening cinema, spa area, guest accommodation, double height stair hall, living area, dining area and so on. The private spaces are linked directly to a terrace with all its views. [de Blacam and Meagher]
