Irish people have seen the light and houses across the country, both huge and tiny, are dispensing with heavy back walls and replacing them with extensions that use a feast of fenestration. The new style of extension is clearly evident in House magazine, which is published in association with the RIAI (Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland) and so could be seen as that organisation's showcase of domestic architects. Unlike other magazines, with their pages of sumptuously styled interiors, this is a more practical journal offering mainly images of the structures themselves, along with plan drawings.
