Milltown Dormer Delight/ Full Architectural Service
Modern traditional delight
Set in the heart of the Kildare countryside, this family home elegantly blends traditional Irish vernacular with modern living. Comprising a one-and-a-half-storey section and a dormer wing, the design is anchored by a striking vaulted entrance hall that connects the two volumes.
A key architectural feature is the bespoke timber bridge overlooking the entrance space, linking the master suite to a home office. Large windows frame southwest-facing views, ensuring a strong visual connection to the rolling landscape.
The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining (KLD) area is the heart of the home, where varied ceiling heights create distinct zones. The kitchen benefits from a vaulted ceiling and large sliding glass doors, enhancing natural light and reinforcing the home’s connection to its surroundings.
Externally, natural materials—stone, timber, and slate—were carefully selected to integrate the house within its rural setting. The result is a home that feels both timeless and contemporary, offering a harmonious balance between tradition and modernity while embracing the beauty of its natural environment.
