Project Description
Nestled within the rolling landscape of Ballybrew, this new dwelling reinterprets the vernacular Irish agricultural shed to create a contemporary home that integrates seamlessly with its surroundings. Positioned to follow the slope of the site and on a naturally flat portion, the house is carefully embedded into the terrain, minimising excavation and preserving the site's topographical character.
The form draws inspiration from the green corrugated steel structures that punctuate the Wicklow countryside. A simple, elongated volume with a curved roof reflects the utilitarian elegance of these agricultural buildings while providing a striking yet understated presence in the landscape.
