Thirteen years ago Brian and Julie Keane found a location that suited them perfectly, but a house that didn’t.

Brian and Julie live in Dalkey, South County Dublin. Julie is an airhostess who has a passion for fashion. In their three-bedroom house she has run out of space for all her clothes, handbags and shoe collections. Her husband Brian is the head financial controller in a private hospital.
Since they moved in Julie has been planning an extensive renovation.

"I always felt this house was back to front.” says Julie. Their budget of €180,000 is generous, however their site is not.
