A-House Dublin
RIAI Awards 2009 Shortlist – Selected Project
A-House is a single-family house located on a mews lane in a Victorian suburb of Dublin city. The house is an exploration of diagonal space within an orthogonal form and the possibilities of integrating environmental concerns at a fundamental level.

Precast House
RIAI Awards 2009 Shortlist – Selected Project
The project is defined in conceptual terms as three discrete forms – garage, house and swimming pool – each emerging from the landscape, their respective heights being determined by the use of each form. The relationship between the three elements is a casual one, slipping past each other, sliding towards the sea.

FKL architects Biography

FKL was established in Dublin, Ireland, in 1998 by Michelle Fagan, Paul Kelly and Gary Lysaght. The practice is committed to contemporary environmentally aware design and has a strong focus on the application of abstract ideas to the built form.

FKL has lectured and has been exhibited nationally and internationally. FKL has also received a number of national awards and has been nominated for the Mies Van der Rohe European Architecture Award. FKL was included in the AJ Corus 40 under 40 exhibition held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

In 2006, FKL conceived, curated and designed the Irish entry for the Venice Biennale – SubUrban to SuperRural – comprising theoretical projects by nine architects on the issue of sprawl. FKL brought this exhibition on tour to five venues throughout Ireland in conjunction with Culture Ireland and the Architecture Foundation. FKL was part of the Irish entry at the inaugural Lisbon Architecture Triennale with d-void in 2007.

FKL’s design approach begins with first principles, carefully analysing the specifics of each brief and the qualities of the site to develop a unique concept that guides every aspect of a project. This methodology emphasizes space, atmosphere, materiality, pattern, hierarchy, texture, and environmental performance, leading to diverse work across scales and typologies.

Today the studio continues to work on a range of residential, civic, commercial and research‑led architectural projects from its base in Dublin.
