Schemata Architects Completes Casa Linden in Glengarriff, Ireland

Schemata Architects has completed Casa Linden, a 571 m² house in Glengarriff, Ireland, with the project year listed as 2025. The design team includes principal architect Jo Nagasaka and project architect Rikako Sho, with construction by DHC Construction and photography by Alexander Baxter and Schemata Architects. The house is situated within the temperate rainforest of Dromgariff, a project led by Bryan and Tara Meehan to regenerate their gardens and forest. This area is one of Ireland's last ancient oak forests and a protected Special Area of Conservation that extends across the southern part of the country. The site was once home to the Roche's Royal Hotel and its gardens. Although the hotel no longer exists, traces of its former landscape remain within the forest, including stone steps, terraces, stone walls, and a garden known as the Rockery. The project was curated by Miwa Negoro and falls under the category of houses.
