Forster Extension - Inspire Architectural Design

Located at Garvary, Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh

Completed Dec 2019

The existing dwelling was constructed approx 12 years prior to our appointment and is located on an elevated site with beautiful views over Enniskillen. The original design failed to take advantage of the views from this site as the layout meant you sat with your back to the view within the existing glazed conservatory, kitchen & dining room areas.
Our brief, remove the conservatory, re-design the existing kitchen/dining rooms to a more open plan arrangement, introduce more natural day light into all the rooms so that they all related better to the rear garden and stunning view over Enniskillen.
Credit to our client who fully embraced the design concept and saw every detail through to the end. All works where coordinated so that the clients could live in the property for the duration of the build!

The Delivered Project

Forster Extension Modern Style Extension

When we built our home in 2005, we were lucky enough to have bought one of the most beautiful sites in fermanagh. We have amazing views over the Erne Valley. Unfortunately at that time we were limited by both planning restrictions and choice of architects. We built as beautiful a home as we were allowed but we realised that the full potential of our beautiful site and environment had not been realised. We were so lucky to choose Damian and Inspire Architectural Design to make the changes we felt would make our home amazing. We couldn’t knock down our home (although I was tempted) so we had to marry the old with the new, and the results have been beyond our expectations. We have now made the most amazing changes that have given us a new way of living. Our family and friends all agree it was the best money we ever spent in making the changes we did. Our family life and living has been transformed thanks to Damian and his vision. He saw the project from start to finish, and worked hand in hand with our building contractor to oversee all the building works. He has been amazing to work with, and if I ever dream of building another home we would have no hesitation in choosing Inspire Architectural Design!
