Located
in a small harbour looking north east across Dirk Bay and sheltered
by Dundeady headland the existing cottage is part of a small complex
of buildings associated with the boat slip for the old coastguard's
station. The architectural strategy was to design a building which makes
maximum use of it's natural environment whilst remaining almost invisible
from the public road which skirts the bay. Therefore all the existing
spaces were refurbished and the new extension is set against a thicket
of mature trees that together form a boundary of the lawn around the
cottage. |
