Lidan's first buildings were garden offices — and they were built like public buildings anyway. NZEB-standard insulation, real airtightness, cedar façades and joinery-grade interiors, in structures of fifteen to thirty square metres dotted around Dublin: Booterstown, Killiney, Templeogue, Blackrock, Wexford.

Those small buildings were the proving ground for everything since. The discipline of achieving A-rated performance at garden-room scale is precisely what made schools, community centres and rapid-build housing possible later; the methods scaled, because they were serious from the start.
