Location - Islandmagee, Co. Antrim

Property Size - 4,500sqft

Status - Planning Approved 2022

This large family home has recently gained planning approval as an off-site replacement dwelling.  It is proposed for a fantastic rural sloping site that has uninterrupted views across the North Channel to Scotland.  The house has been designed to work with the sloping landscape, with a lower ground floor built into the hillside and clad in traditional stonework to act like a plinth, for the more lightweight upper ground floor.  The upper ground floor has been broken up into a series of smaller volumes, wrapping around a central courtyard.  A combination of flat roofs and monopitch volumes ensure that the scale of this dwelling is kept to a minimum, and the overall height is significantly reduced.  This, along with the natural palette of materials, including burnt Siberian larch timber cladding and natural stonework, ensures that the dwelling nestles into its surroundings and is unseen from public vantage points.  An exciting new development ready for construction in 2023.
