All roads lead to the sea, at least that’s how it appears from nearly every room in this beautiful Portmarnock home designed by Paul Keating Archite
10th Sep 2023
Wanting a practical, spacious and energy-efficient four-bedroom family home with sea views, the first thing Paul decided to tackle was the view. “Standing at the gates of the site on the first day, my initial impression was that the site levels would need to be slightly manipulated to take advantage of the view,” Paul explains.
To capture the evening sun, they placed another small westerly courtyard to the rear of the house. Both of these patios are accessed through the kitchen via glass sliding doors which also act as a link between the house and its views. “When you’re enjoying the evening sun, you can look through the house towards the sea view,” explains Paul. “You are always in touch with the view.”
A smaller family room with sea views is located just off this open-plan space, with a large pocket door acting as a partition. As Paul puts it, the door was the subject of “healthy debate” during the build. “My initial reaction was that it should remain open but as we find on house projects, several family functions come into play.” The family needed a cosy, quieter space to relax in, yet when the door is thrown open it appears very much a part of the rest of the space.
