Salt House, Co. Donegal
We’re very proud of Salt House- we set out to achieve a balance between aesthetics, appropriateness to the beautiful site and surroundings, and strong technical performance and we like to think that we found that balance. The stripped- back calm, the contemporary shape and look of the house is welcome in this area of eclectic properties and the house is storm- proofed for winter comfort. The site enjoys excellent views over Donegal Bay, and the large windows on the southwest façade take full advantage while windows to the northern side are small to minimise heat loss there. Designed to be used initially as a weekend home, and later as a place of retirement, the house is tailored to the beach lifestyle. The layout is based around an open plan living, kitchen and dining area and includes four bedrooms, with everything held comfortably in a traditional and very cost- effective building form. Allied to a technical specification that gives us an A1 Building Energy Rating, we feel that Salt House is for relaxed, easy living and it more than exceeds the expectations we and our clients had at the beginning of the journey.

David and Linda, Co. FermanaghThe overall Rann Mór Development has been remarkably successful in the last few years. This is in no small way due to the high quality of the design and the professional service provided by Allan Curran Architects Ltd and I look forward to completing the next phase of the development at Rann Mor Meadow to the same high standard.
