The house is a 3 storey high structure at the entrance side and vehicular approach with a classic drive-in forecourt cut into the rising slope. The subterranean zone below the main living accommodation reduces the scale of the building fronting the Lough. The upper floors are organised along the length of a shallow reflection pool providing a microcosm of sea and sky mirroring the panoramic view of the Lough beyond. At dusk the internal lighting reflected in the pool, combined with external accent lighting, gives the house an ephemeral switch between day and night.
The project was shortlisted for the RIBA Housing Award in 2007
