To be with the Environment: Connemera

Dublin-based practice ‘’Peter Legge Associates’’ have completed ‘Connemara’ in 2012, a reconstruction of two degraded cottages in Connemara. 

The design which is constructed with stacked stone stands out with its glass-steel roof refers to the surrounding houses roof structure and a stair formed with concrete treads which are secured within the adjacent exterior wall.

The kitchen and dining area with a coastal view of the building is limited to two-story doors that can be opened to connect with the open air. Smaller windows in the thick stone walls allow daylight to enter from the east and west, while the upstairs bedroom and bathroom are illuminated by ocean-directed ceiling windows.
