A Thoughtfully Designed New-Build in North Kerry

Nestled on an elevated site just outside a local village in North Kerry, this new-build house combines modern design principles with the charm of local architectural traditions. Designed to fit seamlessly into its surroundings, the house balances contemporary living with the guidelines set by Kerry County Council, resulting in a design that is both functional and visually striking.

​

Key Design Features:

• Single-Storey Design to Blend with the Area: To respect the character of the surrounding single-storey homes, the house was designed as a single storey, with the structure broken into different blocks to reduce the overall mass.

• Pitched and Flat Roof Combination: The pitched roof sections are linked by flat roof elements, creating a dynamic architectural composition. The flat roofs are set at different levels, enhancing the internal flow and creating distinct, unique spaces inside.

• Designed Around the Sun Path: The layout maximises natural light, with a proposed verandah off the open-plan living area providing the perfect space to enjoy the sun and surrounding views.

• Local Stone Finish for a Natural Touch: The projecting gable at the front of the house will be finished in locally sourced stone, creating a beautiful contrast with the clean render walls and anchoring the home to its environment.

With planning permission already granted, this thoughtfully designed project is ready to bring modern functionality, natural light, and local character together. Watch this space as it progresses toward its next phase!
