Architectural Photography for Denis Byrne Architects
Photographed for Denis Byrne Architects, This private house and adjoining studio /work space is set in a picturesque part of Co. Sligo Ireland. The photographic brief was to describe the house and it relationship to the landscape. The house is designed in a sustainable manner in that it has solar collectors and is higly insulated. Another advantage of the house design is that it has a small floor area. The design maximizes useable space so that all areas of the house function in an efficient manner. This house was a real pleaseure to photograph. It typifies the best in Irish architectural design.
Architectural Photography Private Residence
The terracotta tiles for this building provided the insipration for one of the main images in the set. The view down the exterior stair was an interesting visible element that was quite difficult to display using conventional views. For this image the camera ( and photographer ) were balanced above the stairs. It was one of the few locations where the complexity of the tiles could be seen fully. The view shows how the tiles wrap the underlying construction. All of the tiles are full tiles where they should be. It is a nice example of the construction and design of a small, precise space.
Cast Architecture are the Architects for this detailed, considered scheme.

The architecture is precise and I hoped the photographs are too. At present this images are 10 years old. Shot in 2004 on a large format camera ( Sinar) with a variety of nice lens , these images are representative of the work I have completed with Boyd Cody Architects.
Box Architecture Private House
Box Architecture Private House, this project completed by Box Architecture in 2010 . The primary design focus was to upgrade an existing house to modern environmental standards in terms of energy use, ventilation and comfort. The photography sought to exhibit the new design of the house in the best light. The photography was carried out whilst the builders were still completing the building. Much of the work to the external hard landscaping was yet to be complete. However tight cropping of the scene meant that we were able to display a truthful and compelling images of the architecture.
