\"Park<\/div>\n

Slender granite columns frame the glazed walls of this compact extension<\/a> to a home<\/a> in Dublin<\/a>, completed by local studio Scullion Architects<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Named Park Pavilion, the extension expands a semi-detached dwelling with a home office space, which was elevated above ground level to benefit from views across the nearby Phoenix Park.<\/p>\n

Scullion Architects<\/a> used a pared-back palette of granite for the extension’s exterior and warm cherrywood for its interior to create what the studio described as “a sense of permanence and presence”.<\/p>\n

“The project responds directly to its site by elevating the pavilion above the sloping garden, minimising ground disturbance while maximising views, daylight, and immersion in the landscape,” studio founder Declan Scullion told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“The new room frames views through a granite loggia and takes advantage of the dramatic relationship to the surrounding parkland and treetops through generous glazing,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“Despite its small footprint, the pavilion achieves a strong sense of permanence and presence through careful proportion, materiality, and the choreography of movement and views.”<\/p>\n

\"Home

Bookending the existing terrace, Park Pavilion’s granite exterior was chosen to reference the use of granite to frame openings in the main home, to which it is connected via a short, first-floor glazed link.<\/p>\n

Its compact form contains a single workspace above, where a desk and lounge space is wrapped by built-in storage. Below, the space created by elevating the extension has been used to create a storage area that is wrapped by black metal railings.<\/p>\n
