And you thought the streets of Ireland were dotted with pebbledash bungalows and Balamory-coloured terraces. Well, pack up your preconceptions and take a trip to the Emerald Isle for a pilgrimage in honour of the latter day saint of domestic architecture, Le Corbusier. As a design for living, I can find no fault with this stunning residence in Wicklow, complete with its cluster of slim red piloti, impossibly holding up the sugar-cube structure, overlooking an escarpment in the Wicklow hills. Young architects, ODOS, won ‘best house’ at the Irish Architecture Awards this year. Could there have been any competition?
