dunfore house

(ongoing since 2001)

The house is split into two blocks orientated East-West. The sleeping block is positioned to the north acting as a buffer zone to the main living spaces. Externally this block is read as a single entity when seen from the surrounding landscape, similar to the traditional narrow plan cottages throughout ireland. The lower living block to the south maximises solar gain throughout the day. Shielded from the elements and public view, this block breaks from the strict rectilinear plan and opens up its internal spaces to its south facing gardens.
