“Changing of the Season”
As summer fades and autumn gives way to winter, the light shifts—casting new tones across this North Cork farmhouse. Designed to embrace the rhythm of rural life, the home now turns inward, reflecting the quiet beauty of the closing season.
At OKOCA, we’re passionate about traditional Irish architecture. One finish we love is Wet Dash Render—a time-honoured technique that not only weathers the elements but adds enduring character. Its textured surface has graced Irish homes for generations, and today it continues to offer durability, protection, and a distinctive aesthetic that feels both historic and modern.

Great to revisit this project from a number of years ago!
A striking example of reimagined modular concrete panel house,originally constructed in 1971, now transformed to embrace its rural context while seamlessly adapting to contemporary living trends.
At OKOCA, we provided a full suite of architectural services:
✔ Pre-Purchase Inspection Reports
✔ Legal Mapping
✔ Design
✔ Vacant & Derelict Property Grant assistance
✔ SEAI “One Stop Shop” Grant Application Assistance
✔ On-site Construction Supervision for Bank Drawdowns

This home demonstrates how combining 1970’s modular housing principles and modern spatial planning can coexist—creating a dwelling that respects its setting while delivering open-plan living, enhanced daylighting, and energy efficiency upgrades.

Planning Permission NOT required - Under the Building Control Act of 2000, you can extend your property without planning permission as long as the total extension is less than 40 square meters. This recently signed off on extension is a perfect of example of what can be achieved with innovative design working within the limitations of the exemption. With an addition of less than 40 m² (430 sq ft), this existing dwelling has been Turned on its head to embrace the rear south-facing orientation and expansive rear garden. The existing kitchen fittings have been adapted and reoriented with minor interventions to seamlessly connect with the generous open-plan living area.
