Designed by ODOS Architects. This private residence features a refurbishment and extension of the existing farmhouse and stable complex in Ballymahon, Ireland.
The 450 sqm. addition emphasizes elongated rooms with plenty of opportunities to view and connect with the surrounding exterior. Rich, warm wood clads the exterior facade as a high contrast to the surrounding buildings; this makes the home addition a place of interest as you approach the entry. The bedroom and living room furniture is soft and inviting against this clean, open box expansion boasting with its renewable energy source using a high-efficiency wood pellet boiler.
Functional furniture is placed on a muted Eco-CEM floor that matches the floor outside as it connects the interior to the exterior. While the primary light source comes from natural daylight, a simple gesture of recessed lighting follows the length of the extension on two sides, while a small lamp rests on the floor to provide ambient light when the sun has set.
