House 4 is a new-build dwelling located in Firhouse on a semi-mature housing estate typical of Dublin's outer suburbs. Up to the late 1970s, the area was rural in nature. The current context was laid down virtually overnight. These pebble-dashed, pitched-roofed, semi-detached houses were built to identical designs regardless of location or orientation. Although somewhat maligned as an architectural approach to mass housing, over time the estate has matured, resulting in a robust context with its own character.
