The Journey
Castleknock Rise was designed to improve both the functionality and energy performance of an existing family home. A carefully considered rear extension and complete internal reconfiguration transformed the property into a bright, open-plan living environment that better supports the needs of modern family life while strengthening the relationship between the home and its garden.
The architectural design combines clean contemporary detailing with practical family living, using high-quality materials and generous glazing to maximise natural light throughout the home. Alongside the extension, a comprehensive energy upgrade enabled the property to achieve an A-rated standard, creating a comfortable, efficient and future-focused family home.
