This family home featured in several building and home magazines including Prospectus, Self Build Ireland and others. Setanta Construction and Marshall McCann Architects were extremely delighted when it won an Irish architectural award in 2019.

The modern barn-style home is a refined blend of contemporary design and timeless character. Striking exterior combines sleek corrugated metal cladding with warm natural timber, creating a sophisticated contrast that feels both modern and beautifully at home in its surroundings.

Designed with modern family living in mind, the home is highly energy efficient and filled with natural light that connects the interior with the surrounding landscape.

Stylish, spacious and thoughtfully designed it offers the perfect balance of comfort, practicality and understated luxury.
