Killearnan Lodge

The brief was to develop a steeply sloping south facing shoreside green field site for a four bedroom level access house, in a style reminiscent of a Highland lodge.

The site was terraced to provide an upper level for the house and lower terrace for the oak garden hut, using the elevated position of the house and south facing aspect to incorporate large areas of glazing to maximise the benefit of the views and solar gain. Timber frame construction and traditional external finishes combined with the need for ground stabilisation techniques and concrete pile foundations to ensure structural stability on the sloping ground.
