Architecture

The Restoration of the Richard Turner Peach house range at Aras on Uachtarain, Dublin.

The restoration of this seminal 1830s Richard Turner wrought and cast iron glasshouse received an Opus award in 2009.

Located in a Conservation area and within the curtilage of a Protected Structure, it was the subject of my case study for the
RIAI Part 3 Certificate in Professional Practice, 2009.

Turner was a pioneer of the use of curved glass and of standardised components, using prefabricated cast and wrought iron elements. The Peach House Range consists of three contiguous glass-houses comprising an area of 240m² within a walled garden of Aras an Uachtaráin. Its restoration cost €3,9 million.

As an architectural graduate I was a member of the design team from construction to practical completion phases of the project.
