Canal House/ Full Architectural Service
An Irish canal house
This striking home enjoys a privileged setting overlooking the canal, blending traditional Irish cottage forms with contemporary spatial planning. A modest single-storey element to the front references the character of traditional rural cottages, featuring symmetrical chimneys and simple sash windows that root the house in its context.
The building extends back into the site, transitioning into a two-storey section that accommodates the main living areas and a new entrance porch.
A stone-clad two-storey garage and boathouse — connected by a covered car port — adds a sense of grandeur and completes the courtyard-like arrangement. High-end materials and refined detailing throughout elevate the overall feel of the development.
Internally, the layout is designed to ensure that all principal living spaces enjoy views of the canal or open directly onto a private, south-facing garden, offering a strong connection to the landscape on all sides.
