Utilising traditional local materials and construction methods, vernacular structures are characteristic features of rural Ireland. Small windows and sheltered site are typical of the vernacular origins of this house. Typically, the orientation takes advantage of the natural heat of the sun’s path, its windowless rear façade facing north, for heat retention purposes
