A home transformed from the inside out. ✨

Whitelands is a great example of how thoughtful design can completely change the way a home feels — without losing the character that makes it special.

Opening up the interior and introducing a dramatic glazed connection has transformed the heart of the property into one expansive open-plan space filled with natural light and panoramic countryside views

The transformation continues outdoors, where a two-tiered terrace creates a natural progression from the interior to the garden, with an oak pergola and sunken seating area providing a more intimate place to enjoy the surroundings.

Designing Remotely Across Ireland

Here’s a look at two projects we’re currently working on in County Longford, two very different homes demonstrating how bespoke design can respond to different rural settings.

From a Georgian-inspired family home, combining timeless proportions and classical detailing with a contemporary rear extension, to a new build on a sloping rural site, drawing inspiration from traditional agricultural forms with a distinctive barrel roof, corrugated metal cladding and natural stone.

Both projects are designed around their individual sites, surroundings and the way our clients want to live. And both are being designed remotely from our studio in Kilrea.

Being based in Northern Ireland doesn’t limit where we can work. Healy McKeown Architects works with clients throughout Ireland, providing a seamless remote architectural design service.

Whether you’re planning a new home, extension or renovation in County Longford or anywhere else in Ireland, we’d love to hear from you - great design doesn’t have to mean your architect is just around the corner!

Designed around the view 🏠

Wedge House is a modern family home in County Antrim, where the surrounding landscape plays a central role in the design.

From the double-height living space to the evening patio, the open-plan kitchen and living areas are carefully positioned to make the most of views towards Portmore Lough and the countryside beyond.

Upstairs, the master bedroom continues that connection, with uninterrupted views across the Lough, alongside a generous dressing area and en suite.

Set within the County Antrim landscape, this home takes inspiration from the character of a traditional farm cluster, reinterpreting it through a clean, contemporary approach.

The house is formed around three connected volumes, carefully positioned to create a sense of movement between spaces while maintaining a clear distinction between shared and more private areas.

At its heart, the south-facing courtyard becomes a key part of the design. Bringing natural light deep into the home, it provides a sheltered outdoor space and strengthens the connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape.

Designing Remotely, Wherever You Are 🏠

This contemporary renovation and extension project in Dublin is currently on the drawing board, with a focus on maximising natural daylight and creating a strong connection between the internal spaces and the large private garden.

Great design doesn’t have to mean being based around the corner from your architect. We are based in Kilrea, Northern Ireland but we work with clients throughout Ireland, offering a seamless remote design service from initial concept through to completion.

We provide fully bespoke architectural designs tailored to your home, your site and the way you want to live — while giving you the flexibility to work with trusted local professionals for planning, engineering and construction on site.

Designed around the view. Built around the lifestyle.

Set along the North Coast, The Berrins is a pair of semi-detached homes designed to make the most of an exceptional coastal setting.

Across three levels, the mirrored residences are carefully arranged to capture uninterrupted views with extensive glazing bringing the landscape into the heart of each home.

The design also places a strong emphasis on accessibility, with private elevators providing seamless access to every level. At the rear, sheltered garden terraces create the perfect setting to enjoy the coastal surroundings — particularly on those long summer evenings.
