Cillian Briody Studio are a small but nimble practice based in the west of Ireland with a slow, steady, layered approach to design. Interested in making buildings that endure and outlive their initial use.
The client says about the project- ‘ we both have a strong relationship with the West of Ireland, and are repositioning our lives back to the west for the opportunity to create a loving, restorative, calm and contemporary family home, reflecting respective tastes and influences. Location in the town was important to us; obviating the need for car; and connectivity to the train, Westport, and immediate access to gym, pubs, restaurants etc. Neither of us have an interest in an unnecessarily large home, and the opportunity to build a smart, efficient and still sufficiently spacious home (with the extension) is provided by the site.
