TWO MILE BORRIS, CO. TIPPERARY

This project involved constructing a large vaulted-ceiling extension to an existing bungalow in Co. Tipperary. 

 

The length of the room would have required a very large ridge beam to limit deflections. We came up with the innovative solution to incorporate a structural column disguised as a chimney flue to prop the ridge beam above the room dividing hearth. The fire itself is electric and didn't need a flue. A circular column was lined with a stainless steel flue liner, which was in keeping with the scheme.

​

A large room dividing concrete hearth was beautifully prepared off site by concrete fair. The concrete panels conceal the steel frame supporting the ridge prop.

​

The extension created new dining, living, and kitchen areas.
