Criteria: The brief asked for an Irish country house that was large enough for future expansion and the house was originally designed with a traditional courtyard and garages. It became apparent from early discussions that our client had a passion for all things Georgian and wished to build a house as authentic to the traditional Georgian or classical style as was possible.

What transpired was a close working relationship between client and architect where every detail and design decision was questioned in terms of its authenticity to the Neo-Georgian style or radical classicism of the dwelling. The scale and proportion of the drawings were analysed with 3D models and renderings to demonstrate how the final design would look when completed.

One of the most frequently asked questions about this house is the finish and colour of the outside. The exterior walls are smooth render with a painted finish. The colour is from the Farrow & Ball range and is No 15 - Bone.
