Located on the Banks of the ‘Grillagh River’ to locals known as Pixies Paradise, this site for a unique bespoke dwelling is set within Irelands rural countryside adjacent to the historic picturesque Drumlamph Woodland. This is the only remains of the ‘Great Forest of Killetra’ which once would have covered the whole of Northern Ireland. Unlike any other house that has ever been designed and constructed within Ireland, this house takes a completely new approach to rural architecture in the Irish countryside. With the concept an appreciation of agricultural buildings dotted throughout the rural landscape, the house is a refreshing approach to contemporary 21st Century Irish Architecture. The house is the first modern shipping container construction designed and built in Ireland, with the primary structure made up of four 45ft shipping containers, merged together to form two large daring cantilever forms. The containers are cloaked with a dark grey coloured expanded metal to the top form with a natural corten steel to the lower form, which could only be considered a piece of art or sculpture nestled into its surrounding landscape. The dwellings layout has been cleverly design to take full advantage of the site outstanding views to the surrounding picturesque landscape, mountains beyond, historic Drumlamph woodland and nearby Grillagh River (salmon river). On approach to the house you travel on a gravel laneway with dry stone walling to both sides which separates the site boundary and surrounding agricultural fields. At the end of access sits the house, and with the smallest elevation you find only the primary entrance door in bold orange with a minimal cantilevered porch above. The overall aesthetics and forms of the house which is sculptural like marries beautiful into completely rural setting and with this very modest size house of just 1236sqft. provides everything that’s required to have a prefect family home.
