Cottages in Bohernabreena

Deaton Lysaght Architects were appointed as architects to this small development of two houses. The developer wishes to use the project as an exemplar to introduce a new system of sustainable construction to Ireland.

This system uses prefabricated wall panels built of LECA light concrete and traditional concrete, which are light, easy to transport and pretty much impermeable to dampness. They are also resistant to fire (up to 1200^oC at least), non-water permeable, acoustically resistant and thermally insulated.
