BELLEEK HOMES

The site is a former Police Station which was constructed during the Troubles. Our brief is for each house to make the most of the views towards the Lough.

​

The concept of the scheme is derived from the site location and topography. The houses are designed into the slope so that they appear 1 or 2 storeys to the roadside and 2 or 3 storeys to the riverside, affording views to the water and beyond. The style is contemporary with a mix of modern and traditional materials. The pitched roofs are dominant and reflect a rural barn form.

​

The internal layouts are designed with the most private spaces on the lower ground floor, with private outdoor space accessed through sliding or bi-fold doors opening out onto views of the river. The proposals include a small jetty into the river for small private moorings.
