Set on a busy road on the edge of Cork City the design for this house centres around a walled garden that is an escape from the surrounding hustle and bustle. A simple timber veranda offers shelter and creates a deep threshold at the main entrance and also where the living space meets the garden. Rooflights direct light through exposed rafters in the living space and the outdoor patio space is designed to feel like an extra room.
Wood cladding and textured render finishes combine to give a striking contemporary home that is warm and welcoming.
