Award winning house in Goleen

Niall McLaughlin

According to Niall McLaughlin ‘A collection of mono-pitched volumes are staggered across the site. The spaces between them are orchestrated to create a series of semi-enclosed sheltered courtyards. At the end of the journey, a larger terrace reveals spectacular views of the cliffs, sea and the islands of West Cork. The existing house is roofed in natural slate with rendered white walls. The new structures are entirely clad in Irish blue limestone to appear as shards of rock in the landscape. These will weather over time to match the surrounding cliffs.’

This shoot happened over three days to allow for contingency with the weather. It was a memorable shoot.
