Furniture designer's stylish self-build in Leitrim utilises surroundings with natural materials and 360-degree views
Briefly

Max Brosi and his wife Anna Marie spent a year living in a caravan to study their building site before constructing their home, Skymór. Brosi, with a background in furniture design, built the house with features such as a V-shaped roofline for rainwater collection. Designed to channel light on the longest days of the year, Skymór offers a 360-degree view and aligns with the principles of Newgrange. The couple's year-long study of the site conditions informed their design choices, ensuring they accounted for light movements, wind patterns, and site aspects.

The house features a unique V-shaped roofline designed for rainwater collection and aligns with the principles of Newgrange in its light channeling design.
The design of Skymór allows for a 360-degree view of the surrounding area, with a central axis pointing towards a valley where the midsummer sun sets.
Prior to building their 1,303 sq ft house, the couple studied the site's conditions for a year to optimize for light, views, and wind behavior.
