Coastal Home on the Wild Atlantic Way | Bespoke Timber Frame 💚🌊

We’re proud to showcase this stunning bespoke timber frame home, located on the wild and breathtaking shores of the Inishowen Peninsula in Ballyliffin.

Thoughtfully designed by Marshall Mc Cann Architects to sit seamlessly within its natural surroundings, this project reflects a careful balance between architectural vision and environmental sensitivity. The result is a home that not only looks exceptional, but performs to the highest standards.

Built as a high-quality, high-performing, energy-efficient dwelling, it delivers on comfort, durability, and long-term sustainability; key considerations in modern residential construction.

Having moved in just weeks ago, our clients are already experiencing the benefits of a well-designed and constructed home. Every window captures a striking view, reinforcing the connection between the built environment and the landscape.

While external works are still ongoing, the scale and intent of this generous family home are clear. It’s a home created for living, relaxing, and bringing people together.

A fantastic example of a job well done by our talented team!

A significant portion of Setanta's building process happens away from our client's site; instead manufactured at our factory in before being transported and assembled on-site.

This modern approach to construction offers clear advantages including faster project delivery, enhanced quality control, improved sustainability with reduced waste and significantly less disruption on-site.

Depending on the project some of these elements include:

➡️ Wall panels
➡️ Floor cassettes/pre-assembled flooring systems
➡️ Roof panels or trusses with complete roof sections built offsite
➡️ Volumetric modules
➡️ Staircases
➡️ Structural frames - inc timber or steel
➡️ Windows and doors
