New house in Blackrock, County Louth

Recently completed, this contemporary family dwelling was designed to appear understated and elegant yet fit within the context of a development of mixed-style large detached dwellings. The ‘broken plan’ ground floor accommodation is designed around a central circulation corridor with the main living areas to the rear, with access to the west-facing back 

garden. The central corridor extends to the first floor with access to bedrooms with east-west orientation.

The house is designed to be highly energy-efficient and to have low energy consumption. This is to be achieved through solar water heating, with high levels of insulation allowing the internal environment of this large house to be heated by a small boiler that will rarely be required.
