RURAL HOUSE DONEGAL
Rural House Donegal
This rural house is designed for a family returning home to live on family land. The design takes the heritage materials and built form of the locality and mixes it up with contemporary finishes and architectural features inspired by the client. The site is in an open and exposed location but careful internal planning and consideration of orientation makes the most of the views and evening sun. The principal living spaces will be light filled, warm and welcoming, a place of comfort and security in the midst of a harsh landscape.
