Architecture
"Rough Style" by Sibylle Kramer is a weighty tome featuring over 100 projects from all over the world. One of the featured projects is "LPA" designed by me and my former architectural practise ODKM Architects.
LPA was a labour of love as it is a house that has been in my family for 3 generations and I am glad to have brought it back from the brink of dereliction and I now get to enjoy the fruits of my labour and live in this great Dublin house.
As an architect, one of my most enjoyable projects was when I designed my own house. This labour of love brought a derelict house back from ruins to a home fit for modern living.
To read about the renovation and see pictures of the house currently, click here here to read an article that was published on The Journal.
This is the Studio at the very top of the house - look at the amazing light that floods in!
If you would like to see the state of the house when I acquired it, you can click in to my wife's blog here
Enid documented most of the build which you can read all about if you go to the oldest posts and start reading from there. There are some incredible pictures on her blog and you can also see how bad the house was and what a big project it was in order to restore it to its former glory!
