Irish County Cottage

On a small and narrow lot in the quaint village of Aughrim, located southwest of Dublin, is the Irish Country Cottage. The objective was to design a holiday home that embraces the traditional regional architecture, while maximizing the riverside site in a modern and simplistic manner. Neuroscience research on how the human brain and nervous system respond to the built environment came into play as the design unfolded into a contemporary expression emphasizing serenity and calm.
