Field, Stonewall, House in Co. Galway is this year’s winner of the Public Choice category in the annual Irish Architecture Awards.
The house, designed by Castlebar architects Taylor McCarney Architects, was announced Ireland’s favourite building by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland.
The design was devised as a series of parallel field stone walls that fit within the rural sitting of the west of Ireland.
It beat off considerable competition from a shortlist of 39 projects.
All the projects on the shortlist were designed by registered architects based in Ireland and completed in 2020.
Only the second house to ever win the Public Choice Award, The project considered how such a building could ‘grow’ from the site and in terms of scale, materials, colour and landscape.
