Mountain House

A contemporary home uniquely carved from it's landscape 

Set on the foothills of Slieve Gullion, this bespoke farm dwelling is a modern family home carved into the rolling topography, creating a sense of shelter, belonging, and presence within the landscape.

​

Its elevated position on the mountain made the surrounding ring of mountains a defining design driver. Glazed sliders and carefully framed corner windows are strategically placed to capture panoramic views, blurring the boundary between indoors and outdoors and immersing the home in its natural setting.

​

The house is uniquely tailored to both the client’s lifestyle and the site’s conditions. A generous open-plan living space forms the heart of the home, designed to accommodate the needs of a growing family and contemporary living. Throughout the dwelling are bespoke design elements specific to the residents, including a concealed pantry within the kitchen, a home office connected to the main living area, and an attached garage with a boot room providing a practical buffer against the area’s harsh winter winds and rain.
