The only thing to say about O House is ‘Oh Wow’!
This remarkable 3 bed home is one like few others – both an urban retreat and a modern landmark.
The eye-catching home on Palmerston Villas in Rathmines, Dublin 6, is not the norm you see on the market and has arguably redefined what it means to create a contemporary home.
The O is for original and this 18-metre wide detached house is certainly that!
With a striking brutalist façade, this unique residence makes a powerful architectural statement on the outside - strong, sculptural, uncompromising. Step inside, and the atmosphere transforms: a Japandi-inspired interior that is warm, calm, and inviting, designed for the ultimate comfort and functionality in modern living having been staged by Diana Molohan of My Kind of Design.
At the heart of this home lies one of its signature features: a sunlit circular landscaped garden, a private sanctuary that floods all living spaces with natural light and connects every room to nature.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a flowing layout frame the garden from every angle, blurring boundaries between indoors and out.
Designed in conjunction with award-winning architects Lawrence and Long and brought to life by the team at JMH Ltd - a boutique home developer specialising in custom, high quality, thoughtfully-designed homes - O House offers very deceptive accommodation of 316 sqm / 3,400 sq ft, with a private south-facing courtyard as the centrepiece.
The imposing front elevation consisting of Corten steel, sandblasted concrete and Danish handmade bricks belies a stunning and warm interior beyond the secure steel entrance gates and open-air lobby.
Once inside, there is no escaping the sense of arrival as the "O" of O House begins to reveal itself.
The impressive ground floor has a bespoke curved staircase that forms one of many talking points within the primary double-height living space.
There is a ground floor shower room and access to the double car garage to the right of the entrance. To the left, the light-filled kitchen and dining space and sunken living area with views of the garden courtyard and beyond provide an amazing space to live and entertain.
With almost 2,000 sq ft of living space on the ground floor, the first floor consists of 3 en-suite double bedrooms, a laundry room and a veranda-style landing, which enjoys elevated views over the showpiece courtyard.
There is an optional fourth bedroom layout for those that require it, plus space for a lift should it be a requirement now or in the future.
Enjoying a superb location, Palmerston Villas is a quiet cul-de-sac, discreetly tucked away, nestled between Palmerston Park and Cowper Road with Brookfield Tennis Club forming a lively backdrop for the home. All social and essential amenities are well-catered for with excellent local shopping on Upper Rathmines Road.
Rathmines, Rathgar, Dartry and Ranelagh are all within a gentle stroll. Created with a level of detail and execution that is rarely seen, this home is more than a place to live — it's a conversation between contrasts: bold and gentle, urban and natural, sculptural and serene.
