This 4 bedroom home is set within the leafy background of Cultra, Northern Ireland. Designed of two halves, the house faces the public and semi public realm with a rich brick finish with its impact corner windows and minimal penetrations to the remainder of the façade, the brick is punctuated with softer welcoming timber drawing you towards the entrance. The home’s folded paper roof, constructed in Zinc is never viewed entirely from a single perspective, it envelops the angled floor plan as it folds down over the elevations landing where it may.

The exciting interior boasts rooms of varying sizes and scales, from the spacious contemporary kitchen / living / dining, to the narrow double height library with sliding book ladder, parquet floors and sumptuous fur throws on leather upholstery. Accessed through a seemingly impenetrable timber wall, a secret door light to the touch provides the only way in.

The home boasts a unique timber clad steel spine stair with open risers and glass balustrades, allowing sunlight from the double storey hallway window to penetrate deep into the plan. The bedrooms are found on the first floor along with the family entertaining space, a fully stocked bar, elegant décor and with dramatic deep sloping roof, the floor plan is clipped in the corner to allows a view into the hidden library, and rooflight framing the Belfast Lough view.
