Calm Meets Vitality

Location: Fermanagh

Project: Annan Interiors

Photography: Peter Bruce

If we accept that location is the first context of influence for any new-build architecture, the interior must surely continue with the same design language. In this case, a lakeside residence which rejoices in the ever-changing seasonal views, yet has an inevitable calm, with a frontage that has no impediment to views of the immediate Lough Erne, mid-distance and even far distance.

Availing of this, local Co. Fermanagh architects Keys & Monaghan produced a stunning single-storey block with full-length, full-height glazing to open-plan lounge, dining and family areas with kitchen adjoining. The full-depth entrance hall provides the footprint for the bedroom block above containing a lough-view guest bedroom with balcony and ensuite, two further bedrooms and a bathroom. The clever overhanging cantilever on front and back of this first-floor ‘block’ provides not only the balcony to the guest bedroom but shelter to visitors at the front entrance.
