Coast Road House

Coast Road House
A home retreat for a couple, a writer and a school teacher, and their large collection of books.
The site of a 1930's cottage on the Coast Road, Ballyvaughan, the Burren. Proposal: The rundown cottage was restored to its original character. The new addition to the rear was conceived as a simple frame to shelter life in this beautiful setting. The main living space is framed by solid panels of books alternating with tall openings right-round. The dramatic changing light of the coastal Burren moves through the space, caught in the soft lustre of polished screed floors. The new entrance area links old and new construction.
