We are very pleased that our project at Riverstown House,Kildangan, Co Kildare has made the shortlist for the Irish Georgian Society Conservation Awards 2022. The house is a formal-fronted architectural gem with layers of history, originally the wing to a larger house, and containing internal joinery of the 1740s including a fine Chinoiserie staircase. The house has been brought back from a dilapidated state over a number of years and adapted as a modern dwelling with a contemporary extension and a new garden. Excellent work was carried out by Ballymorris Contractors, Portarlington, with Calx Restoration, Timeless Sash Windows, Smith and Henderson Stuccadores, and a large number of excellent subcontractors, many from the local area. The awards will be announced at the City Assembly House on 20^thof October.
