Two Examples of Minimalist Architecture in Co. Limerick

Liston Architecture

Liston Architecture are today’s nominee for the Architecture Awards. Unusually however they are nominated not for just one design but as an agency and using two similar but dramatically iconic developments to be judged by.

The Beach House

The Beach House is a modernist home of exceptional design in an exceptional location. The owners have found a remarkable site to build their dream beach house, inches from the beach with stunning views and modern classic design.

Remarkable use of materials. We love the treated wooden shutters that slide closed to protect the house from the waves. Source: Facebook

House in West Limerick

The second house is located in stark contrast to The Beach House, a monolith against a backdrop of rolling fields and thick pine forest.
