UPPER CULMORE

A contemporary single storey dwelling with a simple yet functional plan arrangement. Two pitched roof elements are connected with a flat roof glazed link, allowing for a public and a private ‘wing’ to the house.
The front block consists of a large open plan living space, with a vaulted ceiling above the kitchen and living spaces to give a sense of space and volume. The views are directed towards Binevenagh Mountain and Lough Foyle. The dining space is centred around a south facing courtyard, with sliding doors outside to take full advantage of the outdoor patio area. The rear block houses the bedrooms, and is only accessed by a short, glazed corridor that ensures privacy for the occupants.
The simple palette of materials, including smooth white render and a fibre-cement slate roof with clipped eaves allows for the traditional forms to be read in a contemporary manner. The cantilevered corner at the front door creates an impressive arrival point, while the corner window takes further advantage of the breath-taking views.
