Article source: ODOS architects Situated adjacent to the Royal canal, these 3 mews houses give little away to the street of their interlocking light filled floor plates. The black zinc curved hat and the stone gables contain 3 dwellings which have direct access to external space and natural daylight from every room at every level.  Image Courtesy © Donal Murphy

Each dwelling has been finished to a high specification with underfloor heating throughout and aluminium triple glazed thermally broken glazing as standard.

Feature pendant fittings are located in the kitchen and downlighters provide additional lighting in the bedroom spaces. All bedrooms and living spaces are fully fitted with a limed oak herringbone timber floor. The kitchen and stairs feature a concrete power floated finish.
