Gort Uí Ghaoithín

English
Gaeilge
Four squares dictate the spatial layout for this extended family home in Co. Clare. The house is broken into three simple block forms around these squares. The central block accommodating the living quarters for the house acts as the focal point between the sleeping blocks on either side. On arrival, a porch marks the principal entrance to the central block. Openings in the project are influenced by the pattern of openings on early 20th-century Irish farmhouses. Blind windows continue classical rhythms where it was not possible to make a window opening. Externally, a wet dash plaster finish, a drystone wall and a black slate roof reference vernacular building materials of the locality.
Tá leagan amach an teach sínithe seo i gContae an Chláir bunaithe ar cheithre chearnóg. Tá an an teach roinnte i dtrí bhloc timpeall ar na cearnóga seo. Tá na seomraí maireachtála sa bhloc i lár agus feidhmíonn sé seo mar croílár an tí, le seomraí codlata ar an dá thaobh. Tá na hoscailtí ar an tionscadal seo bunaithe ar phátrún na hoscailtí ó thithe feirme Éireannacha ó luath an 20ú haois. Leanann fuinneoga líonta isteach rithim clasaiceach áit nach bhfuil sé indéanta oscailt a dhéanamh do fhuinneog. Ar dromchla seachtarach an tí tá ceangailtí le ábhair tógála dúchasach an cheantar, tá críoch fliuch steancán plastar ar na ballaí, tá slátaí dubha ar an díon agus tá claí cloch lasmuigh chomh maith.
