Single-Storey Extension with Sky-Frame Sliding Doors and Open-Plan Living

The new open-plan space has become the heart of family life, filled with light.

Location
Glenageary, Co. Dublin
Project Type
Single-Storey Extension + Full Interior Renovation

Project Overview

This Glenageary home underwent a comprehensive transformation that reimagined both its layout and its connection to the outdoor space. The homeowners wanted a brighter, more functional layout with a seamless, light-filled extension that would serve as the heart of daily life.

Shomera delivered a holistic renovation that blends thoughtful design, high-end finishes, and practical living solutions.

Client Brief

The homeowners' goals were clear: reconfigure the layout to support modern family living, create an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, and bring more natural light into the home.

They also wanted flooring and internal finishes upgraded throughout, energy efficiency improved with high-performance joinery, a new ground-floor W/C added for convenience, and both floors refreshed for consistent style and quality.

  • Created a bright, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space tailored for modern family life
  • Installed a 2 m Sky-Frame sliding door system to flood the interior with natural light and strengthen the indoor-outdoor connection
