HOUSE ON MOAT LANE

NEW BUILD CLONTARF

Tucked away on a historic lane in Clontarf, this mews house sits beside an 1840s brick wall — once the boundary of a formal walled garden and later part of Corinthian’s Football Ground.

Built in the garden of our client’s family home, the house holds deep personal meaning and is deliberately modest — hidden from public view and nestled into its surroundings.

Externally the upper level of the house is wrapped in a light grey profiled metal cladding, drawing inspiration from adjacent car garages. Its muted tone allows the house to subtly dissolve into Dublin’s often overcast skies, reinforcing its quiet presence on the lane.

The project will form part of the Irish Architecture Foundation’s 2025 Open House Dublin event.
