The latest design by Miles Sampson has been granted planning permission by Cork County Council on a coastal site near the village of Ballinspittle not far from Kinsale in Co. Cork. The design has used inspiration from traditional local farm buildings to create a new modern family dwelling that is in keeping with its site and surroundings. It also uses passive house design principals to reduce energy consumption and allows the building have ample glazing on the sunny side of the house thereby creating sunlight filled spaces throughout the house. The sketch below demonstrates how the design fits in with its rural surroundings.
