This bespoke house design is a replacement of a traditional farmstead in a secluded rural setting, located at the end of an intimate tree-lined laneway. The concept for this home relates to the traditional Irish Georgian style farmsteads with the large formal rendered “Manor House” addressing the driveway and the smaller renovated “Out-house” block to the rear. The material palette of stone, brick and render in the two blocks is reminiscent of the traditional building with a contemporary glazed circulation link connecting them. The use of traditional forms and materials with modern detailing and features help elevate the quality of the dwelling to achieve a sensitive yet contemporary approach to the overall house design.
