Dartmouth Park House is Winner of a RIBA London Award. The RIBA Awards are regarded 'as the most valued architecture awards' in the UK, reflecting an unrivalled 'commitment to designing buildings for the improvement and enhancement of people’s lives'. The jury which visited the building praised it as 'a very successful reinvention of the Victorian house' and an 'unusual and exotic home' reflecting the clients' personal interests. Beginning as a modest conversion of an over-developed terraced house, the project became an ambitious redevelopment of the entire building, including a courtyard, a 3-floor void with a theatrical staircase, and a sense of warmth and continuity achieved by using crafted timber elements throughout interior and exterior spaces. For the jury's full commentary after visiting the building, please visit this RIBA link.

'Losing Myself' represents Ireland at the 2016 Venice Biennale.

It will be open to the public until 27 November 2016. For more information visit our website, documentation on vimeo, coverage by ArchDaily and WIRED.
