A house erected for C.L. Flood (Thom's Directory of Ireland 1939, 1656) representing an important component of the mid twentieth-century domestic built heritage of south County Dublin with the architectural value of the composition, one showing the development of Knocksinna as so-called "International Style suburb" (cf. 60230066 - 60230072), confirmed by such attributes as the angled square plan form centred on a balconied polygonal "loggia"; the slight diminishing in scale of the eponymous corner windows on each floor producing a feint graduated visual impression with those openings originally showing horizontal glazing patterns complementing a banded surface finish; and the parapeted flat roof doubling as an occasional sun deck.

FahanmuraHouse · 31 yd

Explorer Tom Fahanmura in Galloping Green South is a flat-roofed house from 1937 by Moore Ffrench Parkhill. It has a staggered L-shaped plan which sounds like something you’d find in a board game, not a serious domestic heritage site.

Stillorgan ObeliskMonument · 1372 yd

Explorer Tom Stillorgan Obelisk in County Dublin stands tall and proud, probably because it thinks it's a finger pointing at the sky, but honestly it just looks like a very serious, very thin concrete pencil waiting for an eraser.
