A house representing an important component of the mid twentieth-century domestic built heritage of south County Dublin with the architectural value of the composition, a white-walled International Style house recalling contemporary houses in Knocksinna (see 60230066 - 60230073), confirmed by such attributes as the deliberate alignment maximising on scenic vistas overlooking rolling grounds with a mountainous backdrop in the distance; the compact "cubic" plan form; the uniform or near-uniform proportions of the openings on each floor with those openings showing replicated horizontal glazing patterns; and the parapeted flat roof.
