Thu 01 Jan 2007From cosy nest to a skylit, airy extensionA glass and aluminium extension in Dublin provides a dazzling contrast to the comfy house that it's attached to, writes Emma Cullinan.THIS extension is on the rear of a classic Edwardian house with its pretty façade that represents the peaceful, idyllic pre-first World War mood.
