CONGREVE HOUSE

Mount Congreve, Kilmeaden, Co. Waterford, X91 PX05, Ireland

The house sits on a clifftop facing the Hauraki Gulf and Rangitoto Island, and is organised around the particularisation of the site’s relationship with the symmetrical volcanic cone. Within this general schema subtexts are explored.  These include the qualities of ‘bigness’ and the relationship between robust ‘raw’ materials and the ‘cooked’ objects of industrial production.

The house is constructed of double skin concrete block with cast in situ elements and a partial overlaid skin of timber plywood where there is consistent contact with the built shell.
