Building at home shouldn't take over your life.

Rural Ireland needs more homes, and your family needs more room: for a parent who shouldn't live alone, a grown-up child who can't find a place nearby, or work that has outgrown the kitchen table. But a traditional build means months of trades in your garden, quotes that keep changing, and planning rules nobody explains.

Making room for your family shouldn't cost you a year of disruption.

The good news

Recent changes to planning exemptions allow a larger garden building than before. That extra space is enough for an exceptionally efficient one-bedroom studio, designed for modern living with traditional values. We'll check whether your site qualifies.

The collection

Two studios, each designed around how you'll live in it.

Use one as a home of their own for a parent, a first home for a grown-up child, or a quiet home office. Every Doon studio has everything you need to live well, with aesthetics, comfort and layout put first, and it lifts the look of the garden around your home too.
