We were engaged to design a contemporary dwelling with open plan living areas with easy access to the extensive garden areas in Castleshane Co. Monaghan. The existing woodland area to the rear provided the perfect backdrop for this new dwelling to nestle naturally into the landscape. The dwelling is one and a half storey design. The ceiling to the open plan area was vaulted which gave a great sense of space and a large feature window with a triangular head maximised the natural light into this living space.
