Shellbrook House, Ramelton
Our brief with Shellbrook House was to renovate and extend a country farmhouse on a quiet country road on the shore near Ramelton. The two-and-a-half storey farmhouse had been unoccupied for a number of years before our client contacted us seeking a rejuvenation of the house, and on an idyllic, quiet shorefront road, we were instantly captivated by the site and existing house. The deep stone walls and 20th century fittings and finishes have a scintillating charm, accentuated by the contemporary addition to the rear and side of the house.
The extension houses the kitchen, dining and living areas of the home, and glazing opens the split-level layout to the sea and allows the spaces to soak up light. The light-filled kitchen at ground level serves as a family rendezvous, and sitting in the intermediate-level dining area provides a view over Lough Swilly. Upstairs to the living room, and you are greeted with a stunning vista over the water and across to Inishowen. The extension is then tied in to the existing house by the upstairs corridor, linking the living space to the refrubished bedroom quarters.

Testimonials
Allan Curran Architects designed and supervised all the work connected to the renovations of our 3 bathrooms in Mullaghmore, Co. Sligo. This was an extensive job involving completely redesigning and re-configuring the spaces. We live in the US and the work was done in our absence. We were given constant updates and kept very regularly abreast of the work. We couldn't recommend Allan Curran Architects more. They were a pleasure to deal with at every step. Extremely professional and attentive. The work did not go over budget. We are delighted with the finished work. The master bathroom is one of the nicest bathroom we have ever been in, it is like a bathroom in a boutique spa hotel. Excellent experience from first to last dealing.
Ann, Co. SligoI was extremely pleased with the quality of work and service given by Allan Curran Architects Ltd., from the outset of the project to its completion. At all times the service was both personal and professional from all staff. If I were to undertake another such project I would seek the services of Allan Curran Architects without hesitation.
