Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland Awards
Winner RIAI Regional Award, for our project ‘House in a Field’ at Mullingar, Co Westmeath

"There is much debate about one-off houses in a rural setting. This house answers most of the issues involved. Existing hedgerows screening is exploited; the site contours are responded to and the arrangement of floor plans, sections and views are of a high standard – well above the bungalow blight of most single houses. There is an attention to detail and a craftsmanship rarely found in similar settings or building types."
