​​This new build home in South Tipperary is a perfect example of blending thoughtful design with the surrounding landscape. We were involved from the initial design phase through to the completion of the build, creating a home that meets both the clients’ vision and the planning requirements of the local area.

​

Before we joined the project, the clients had a pre-planning meeting with the local area planning officer, who suggested a design approach that would suit the site. Without knowing this, we developed a concept that not only reflected the clients’ brief but also aligned perfectly with the planning officer's recommendations—showcasing our ability to intuitively create designs that work with the environment.

​

The house is split into two distinct blocks: a single-story front with a pitched roof and a two-story rear section, seamlessly linked by a flat-roof element. From the road, the house appears as a charming, renovated cottage, but a closer look reveals a striking modern design. This approach breaks up the mass and bulk of the house, allowing it to sit naturally into the landscape while maintaining a contemporary feel.

​

Designed with the sun path in mind, the home maximises natural light and outdoor connectivity. The open-plan interior flows onto a spacious patio through large sliding and bi-fold doors. Surrounded by a low-level wall, the patio creates a sheltered outdoor space perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

​

This home is a beautiful blend of traditional charm and modern innovation, perfectly tailored to its environment and the needs of its owners.
