Aghnameadle 2010

This house was designed to respond the contours of the sloping site, while also engaging with the wonderful views of the Devils bit hills to east of the site.

The house cascades down the contours of the site with the vaulted ceilings of the living wing commanding the south facing upper level.

The house is constructed as a low energy dwelling with a high specification SIP system, which guarantees an extremely air tight envelope.

The layout is designed to maximise passive solar gain, and uses a heat recovery system to recycle the heated stale air as it is removed from the dwelling.

The aesthetic is restrained and limited to plain white render finish in conjunction with slate roof and triple glazed alu-clad windows.
