Contemporary Countryside Living: Landscaping and Design in Cork, Ireland

Project by Draw Plans Architectural Designers – www.drawplans.uk
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Irish countryside, Draw Plans Architectural Designers undertook a full landscaping and external enhancement project for a striking modern home in Cork. Working closely with the client, we provided full project management and design input to deliver a beautiful, high-value transformation of the property’s outdoor space.

A Landscape Designed for Living

The original plot, while spacious and full of potential, lacked the functionality and visual appeal the homeowners desired. Our design team reimagined the landscape to make the most of the rural setting, enhancing access, aesthetics, and usability.

Key improvements included:

Retaining Walls: Engineered to manage the site’s natural levels and improve the driveway and access points.
Contemporary Patio Area: A stunning circular patio and seating area was created as a focal point of the garden – perfect for outdoor entertaining and family life.
Driveway Resurfacing: The original gravel approach was upgraded for better vehicle access and visual impact.
Electric Entrance Gates: Secure, stylish, and practical, the new automated gates elevate the property’s frontage while improving privacy and safety.

Built for the Long Term

All works were carefully planned and managed by the Draw Plans team, from excavation and drainage to final finishes. Our on-site team ensured that every stage – from heavy plant operation to hard landscaping – was delivered to the highest standards.

In addition to enhancing the exterior appearance, the improvements significantly increased the property's overall market value and daily enjoyment.
