Designing bespoke homes along some of Ireland’s most breathtaking coastal landscapes has been one of the highlights for us. From the rugged cliffs of County Donegal to the serene, beautiful beaches of County Mayo, and the dramatic shorelines of Derry and Antrim, our journey has been one of constant inspiration and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds us here in Ireland.
Given the opportunity to design unique living spaces that seamlessly blend indoor comfort with the awe-inspiring views of the Irish coastline is a privilege we don't take lightly. With each project, we strive to create an exceptional bespoke space where our clients can fully enjoy living by the sea.
At Farren Architects we understand both the unique opportunities and challenges that come with building homes by the sea. From site selection and orientation to material choices and sustainable design principles, every aspect of any home we design is meticulously planned to ensure the views are fully embraced, we harness as much natural light as possible and that our designs withstand the elements.
Maximising Views
One of the primary considerations in our coastal home designs is capitalising on the stunning views we have here in Ireland. To ensure our residents can fully capture views of the coastline, the orientation of living spaces and outdoor areas is an important consideration.
At Carnlough House, large strategically placed windows and thoughtful site planning allow us to frame the seascapes like living works of art.
At Redcastle House, large windows and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces allow our clients to fully immerse themselves in the coastal experience.
Embracing Natural Materials
Our material choices are inspired by the raw, elemental nature of coastal environments. We often incorporate locally sourced stone, timber, and other natural materials that harmonise with the landscape and age gracefully over time.
Natural stone, weathered wood and earth-toned palettes at Mayo House create a harmonious connection with the surrounding landscapes, and provide a sense of resilience and durability, essential for withstanding the harsh coastal conditions at Blacksod Bay, County Mayo.
Outdoor Living Spaces
When designing bespoke homes on the Irish coast, how can we not prioritise creating amazing outdoor spaces that allow you to fully embrace the unparalleled beauty and serenity of seaside living?
At Linsfort Beach House, the outdoor living space blends with the surrounding landscape and the interior space evokes a sense of calm and tranquillity.
Our bespoke coastal homes are designed to enhance connection to nature and capture the essence of living by the coast, incorporating elements such as sliding glass doors, covered terraces and outdoor living areas to allow our clients to be fully immersed in the coastal experience.
Sustainability and Respect for the Environment
Designing homes along coastal environments demands a thoughtful and responsible approach to design. We prioritise sustainability by incorporating energy-efficient systems, optimising passive solar strategies, locally sourced materials and eco-friendly practices to minimise our environmental impact. After all, preserving the beauty of the Irish coastal regions is not only a responsibility but also a way to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy their splendour.
Tailored Bespoke Design
Every aspect of all our bespoke homes is executed with the highest level of quality and craftsmanship. We ensure all details are meticulously planned and executed to perfection.
