Situated deep within the rolling hills of mid-Ulster, Barneys Ruins is a modest project in terms of its scale, yet exceptional in its ambition and invention. Its name derives from the 200 year -old ruined clachan (hamlet) that has become its lower levels.
A small new house formed from a reclaimed shipping container floats dramatically above. The contrast in response to the site is remarkable 鈥� one element is grounded in the landscape, the other detached from it. The architect knows this landscape and its histories, and his passion for it is infectious. Although rooted in the land, the design maintains a thoroughly contemporary position and never succumbs to sentimentality. The detailing and making are carried out with conviction, care, and a lightness of touch that supports and heightens the initial conceptual boldness of the project.
