Reimagining a Charming West Cork Cottage

This traditional West Cork cottage, with its unique character, is ready for a modern transformation to meet the needs of a growing family. The homeowner chose us for this project due to our extensive expertise in working with older properties, ensuring the design would respect the original structure while enhancing its functionality and connection to the stunning surroundings.

​

When the house was originally built, its layout didn’t consider the breathtaking sea views, and the overall design no longer worked for the family. To solve this, we proposed a thoughtful redesign that balances the charm of the cottage with contemporary living.

​

Key features of the design include:

  • A Side Extension with Stunning Views: The new open-plan extension takes full advantage of the sea views, creating a bright, welcoming space for family living and entertaining.

  • Reimagined Internal Layout: The existing structure was redesigned to improve the flow and functionality of the home, making it better suited to modern family life.

  • A Sheltered, Private Patio: Just off the open-plan space, the patio is designed to be both private and sheltered from the busy summer road nearby, creating the perfect outdoor retreat.​

​

With planning permission granted, the design is ready to bring this older property into a new era, combining its historic charm with modern comforts. Watch this space as this coastal home comes to life!
