Killyleagh Dwelling

This new-build family dwelling and home office project was inspired by the distinctive forms, proportions, and materials of nearby flax mills and agricultural buildings that reflect the local architectural heritage. Situated on a triangular plot, the design adopts a T-shaped plan that divides the dwelling into three interconnected sections.  The elevations are deliberately kept straightforward, featuring a limited number of large openings and simple fenestration, mirroring the industrial character of the local vernacular.

​

Designed to surpass the RIBA Climate Challenge 2030 targets, the scheme prioritizes environmentally conscious materials to minimize embodied carbon, such as local limestone walling, natural slate, timber cladding, a timber frame construction, natural sheep wool insulation and re-cycled gypsum lining boards.
