Project Description
Project Description
This project involved the commissioning of a contemporary family house on a dramatic hillside located in the Cooley mountains. Overlooking Carlingford Lough it faces the dramatic peaks of the Mourne Mountains beyond. Dublin Design Studio created a form that while, being sympathetic to the vernacular farmhouse architecture of the area, offers a bold, contemporary and legible aesthetic. It constantly connects its inhabitants with the immediate countryside and the land-scape beyond.
A simple, 'L' shaped plan was proposed housing the bedrooms which nestle comfortably into the hillside enjoying morning and evening light and views of the Cooley mountains. Through a glazed link to the front of the 'L' shape, a dramatic double height space accommodates family living spaces which flow into each other and command stunning, near 360 degree views of mountains and sea. A balcony wraps the front of the building and to the rear of the living block a sheltered outdoor sunny space is created in the 'crook' of the elbow of the 'L' shape.
