Cedar-clad guest lodges for one of Ireland's great estates — full-height glazing, hardwood detailing and a finish worthy of the setting.
Castle Leslie Estate trades on atmosphere, and any new building on its thousand acres has to earn its place. These guest lodges do it with material honesty: western red cedar, full-height glazing that pulls the parkland indoors, and the kind of hardwood joinery detailing that comes naturally to a factory run by joiners.
Manufactured complete in Roscommon and placed with minimal works on the estate, the lodges added accommodation without a construction site in the guests' view — hospitality's version of the same argument we make to schools and councils: the building arrives; the disruption doesn't.
