A-House is a single-family house located on a mews lane, in a Victorian suburb of Dublin, designed by Ireland based FKL architects. The house is an exploration of diagonal space within an orthogonal form and the possibilities of integrating environmental concerns at a fundamental level.

This diagonal spatial relationship between the two floors allows a simultaneous experience of all dimensions of the house – length, breadth, height and extending into the surroundings in unexpected diagonal glimpses.

‘A House‘ has been designed to achieve an ‘A’-Building Energy Rating, with a particular emphasis on the use of passive systems.
