Another one of our projects carried out in the beautiful location of Glencar Waterfall, Co.Leitrim .😍 Would highly recommend a visit as an enjoyable family day out over the holiday season which is soon approaching.

The teaSHED is a coffee shop located beside Glencar Waterfall in Co. Leitrim. While not the highest waterfall in the area, Glencar Waterfall is generally considered the most romantic and impressive, which is worth visiting for the amazing scenery alone.

The teaSHED and private house development is based on traditional vernacular farmyard design with a modern twist. Main dwelling house would have been traditionally whitewashed without buildings and sheds built from unfinished natural materials i.e. in this case stone and timber. Built into the sloping site and stepping with the landscape the size and massing of the two storey house is concealed.

Brief Description of a few Elements in the Build:

Mechanical ventilation heat recovery system, air source heat pump, very good insulation, reduction of cold bridges, triple glazing and good airtight construction is paramount in the design approach.

Natural materials include glue laminate timber beams and timber posts (teaSHED) untreated larch cladding and reclaimed stone.
