A 20-bedroom extension to the historic place category II listed, 32-bedroom O'Conor home.

The form, scale and materials of the extension are sensitive to the original home, whilst still contemporary. The location of the new build to the west side and rear of the home minimises it’s impact and avoids the historically significant gardens.

Extensive seismic strengthening has been designed and integrated discreetly into the heritage fabric, raising the strength of the 1918 building to 100% of new building standard.
