Modular build with panoramic views
Project Features:
- Off-site Modular Build
- Bespoke Fitted Furniture
- Timber Cladding
Eithne and Aidan Naughten wanted to add a crafts room extension to their home for their son Tommy. They had explored using a log cabin type structure with a link to the main house but this proved to be unfeasible for various reasons. We offered an exempt development design and build service to produce this beautiful, charred larch timber clad crafts room. Due to the size of the building we were able to offer a modular build service for this project and most of this crafts room was constructed off-site.
The end result fits the brief perfectly. The space is connected to the house and also to the outdoors with panoramic views of the countryside and a covered external work area when the weather allows. We also constructed bespoke fitted furniture to suit the type of crafts work Tommy is renowned for.

Kilduff Construction did an outstanding job on our commercial to house conversion and retrofit. Their team were professional, efficient, and detail-oriented, ensuring everything was done to the highest standards. We’re thrilled with the results and highly recommend their services.
Kilduff Construction have completed numerous projects in our school in recent years, including new classrooms and a new car park. The work on each project has been immaculate. The projects were delivered on time, within budget and with minimal fuss. Donal and all at Kilduff Construction are a pleasure to work with.
Cannot recommend Donal Kilduff and his team enough after they were recommended to me from a neighbour. From start to finish, Donal listened to my vision and worked with us to help bring that alive. Every interaction with the whole team was so professional, efficient and friendly. The end product was done to a meticulous standard and we are so happy with the result’.
Donal maintained a constructive client relationship throughout our build and ensured that high quality detail design was applied to the project. I would definitely recommend Donal for similar projects in the future—his expertise and collaborative approach made everything run smoothly.
Whilst I was delighted when I found out I had secured Kilduff Construction to do my house renovations I only truly realised how lucky I was in retrospect. Donal and his team went above and beyond in every aspect of the renovation. What impressed me the most was the attention to detail even down to the smallest one. Donal took the time to have a number of meetings with me to find out what exactly I wanted to achieve.
From start to finish a very professional service was provided by Donal and his team at Kilduff Construction. Everybody involved was easy to deal with, any queries/modifications were solved without issue. We were so pleased with the end result being completed both on time and within budget. We would highly recommend Kilduff Construction for any project.
My building and business is well over 100 years old, I am the 4th Generation, so when the time came for the roof to be replaced I needed a professional team with knowledge, vision and compassion. Donal was incredibly professional from that very first consultation, he was never more than a phone call away.
Kilduff Construction was great to work with right from the very beginning. What differentiated Donal was how personally invested he was in the project. The expertise of Donal and his team was reflected in their attention to detail and quality of finished work. Can’t recommend Kilduff Construction highly enough.
It was a pleasure working with Donal and his team. From the outset Donal was invested in the project, his great ideas, genuine interest and advice resulted in a bespoke creative space for Tommy. Thank you Donal & Team.
Restoration of landmark building in the community

Eithne & David Waldron are the proud custodians of this amazing two-hundred-year-old thatch cottage. The cottage has been in Eithne’s family for all of that time and is know locally as Feeley’s cottage. It is a landmark building in the community. In 2020 Eithne and David engaged MMA architects to design a modern extension to facilitate their growing family. They wanted a design that would be respectful to this important piece of our vernacular heritage and also one that would provide for modern comfortable and sustainable living. MMA architects really embraced this challenge and developed a concept with the old outbuildings central to the design and layout of the extension. They designed the extension to follow the original footprint of the outbuildings with one part of the extension actually emerging from the original stone and lime-built walls of the outbuildings and the original window and door openings preserved as windows and doors in the new building.
We commenced the building project in late 2021. The initial stages of the groundworks and strip out of the cottage revealed some interesting finds. There was a beautiful old stone lined well in the rear garden under the location of the proposed kitchen. In addition, there was a beautiful old ashlar stone fireplace buried behind a cast concrete open fireplace during an earlier renovation. It was decided to incorporate these treasures as central features in the extension and restoration of the cottage.
The final result is a beautiful example of what can be done with our vernacular heritage buildings and how they can really enhance and add a sense of pride and joy to any modern home. This project has a special wow factor which you cannot get from a new building. The two-hundred-year-old cottage has been preserved for posterity and transformed into a modern comfortable home using ecological materials such as Otterbein NHL, Diathonite cork and lime based insulating plasters and Celenit wood wool board. These materials help to enhance the thermal performance of the cottage and also ensure the breathability of the building fabric. This project was a joy to work on, it was challenging, and we are very proud of it in Kilduff Construction.
