I don’t think there’s much better for an architect to see a project that you thought would never happen finally get started.<\/p>\n

This is the case with the lighthouse keeper’s cottage at Ballyglass, County Mayo.<\/p>\n

Exactly 14 years after first being contacted by the owner. The cottage is finally getting some critical restoration work undertaken to save the building from further ruin.<\/p>\n

The project is an exercise in historical restoration where after extensive research and analysis the key works will be including:<\/p>\n

  • New Roof structure and finishes\n
  • Restoration of existing windows\/doors\n
  • Restoration of existing floors\n

    The idea is to weathertight the building to stop any further dereliction. Watch this space for why this work is being undertaken, hush hush.<\/p>\n

    Below are a few images of the work as it’s now progressing:<\/p>\n

    A special thanks to the research undertaken by Juma Watson which has really helped the historical analysis.<\/p>\n

    And a big thank you to Jonathan Sweeney Carpentry<\/a> for making this happen.<\/p>\n

    This is one of the historical photos we are working to in the cottage’s restoration. A special thanks to Irish lights for its usage:<\/p>\n
