Domestic Architecture

Domestic Architecture

Overview

This talk explores Dublin's domestic architecture development from the 16th-century to the late 19th century.

Dublin's domestic architecture evolved from 16th-century timber cage-work houses with steep roofs and timber-framed interiors, followed by Dutch BIlly gabled houses and, later, the formal Georgian gandeur of Henrietta Street. These traditions chart the city's shift from medieval irregularity to classical order. From the late 19th century onward, workers' housing emerged through extensive suburban estates designed by the Dublin Corporation Architects' Department.
