Doolough

County Mayo, 2009 - with Tierney Haines Architects

1/4View from the site

A new 400 sqm house on a dramatic site located on a remote part of the west coast of Ireland. Echoing the outline of local vernacular farmsteads the building is broken down into three wings. Their arrangement maximises the sea views and creates a sheltered inner courtyard protected from the harsh climate. The building has been designed to PassivHaus standards combining an inner highly insulated timber frame with outer walls of local Lacken sandstone.

The house has been granted planning permission and is currently in the detailed design stage.
