Ireland is a small country but it holds a large number of outstanding architects’ studios which have stood out in recent years offering some of the projects that best make use of wood. Exterior cladding and inner linings with wood panels are showcased in some projects which denote an exquisite taste for working with this elegant material.
After years enjoying the images of these works in various publications, we wanted to select some of the ones which have most drawn our attention. We will see wood panels, wood walls and wood ceilings, cladding and other construction details, in different colours and different formats. We hope you enjoy them.
