@arcdesignni on Instagram: "Our latest….the ‘Bushmills House’. Our design ethos has always been very simple…traditional to the front and a little funky to the rear. We think this design has that in bucket loads. All the kitchen, living, dining and off course the master bedroom suite taking full advantage of the private patio areas to the rear.

The bungalow has become a common feature in the Irish Countryside with many being build throughout Ireland and especially since the 1960’s when the long rectangle shaped plan first appeared.

The open plan living space boasts an elevated 4m high vaulted ceiling with additional roof lights to ensure it basks in natural light all day long.

How the Lamberts self-built this NZEB new build in Co Meath, to deliver a home that costs very little to run.
