1970's Semi-Detatched House Renovation

Our latest project was very interesting because it allowed us to completely modernise a typical 1970's Dublin Semi-Detatched house - upgrading the interior and providing a spacious extension to the rear of the property.
The Planning Permission had already been obtained but our clients wanted the freedom to tweak their design, while staying within the overall terms of the permission.

Here are the "Before" and "After" shots of the rear of the house:



The redesign of the house interior was even more spectacular. We re-shaped and opened up the kitchen area into an open-plan, bright and airy living space:

More "Before" Shots:



And a shot of the finished kitchen area:


And the final exterior shots of the house extension, again, to the rear of the property:


We hope you find this relevant to your own House Extension project. Why not contact us at Shomera to chat about your House Extension ideas? We'd be delighted to talk to you!

Thermal Performance In Buildings

We've just completed this month's blog entry - on Thermal Performance in Buildings.
Most people don't consider this important factor of any building or house extension project, and automatically assume that modern building materials can give a large measure of protection from the elements.
Our finding is that it's both important to choose the building materials wisely, and also to make sure you are constructing with the highest possible Thermal Performance in mind.

Please view the rest of our blog post on Thermal Performance In Buildings on our main website.

Star of the Sea, Boy’s National School, Sandymount, Dublin 4.

Hi, we wanted to share with you our latest project. The Star Of The Sea, Boy's National School.

The full story is over on our website: Shomera School Renovation And Extension!



The Project took less than 4 months to complete, and we are very excited about it. We conquered many things in on a tricky site, with existing multi-level buildings, and a re-design of the entire drainage system.
