Patrick Bradley is an architect and is set to inherit his large family farm in Northern Ireland. He needed a home on his land so he can both manage his farm and run his business as an architect. Growing up on the land he knew a spot that he wanted to put a home on, with stunning views and cantilevered over a little stream. The design called for four, 45ft shipping containers. Two formed the ground floor while two at the top laid across the ground floor. The home recognises its dual role as a farmhouse and as a home. The front entrance is downstairs where you can leave your muddy boots, and if you are particularly grubby from a day in the fields you can go straight into the wet room from there. There is a spare bedroom to one side, while the master bedroom overlooks the babbling brook to one side of the house. Laid crosswise to the ground floor is the upper floor. Accessed by a stairway, it has lots of glass to celebrate the astounding views around the farmhouse. The upper floor has a kitchen and living area, as well as Bradley’s office where he runs his architectural practice. His original budget was just over AUD 168,000butbythetimehehadfitteditoutitcost224,000. This included a $20,000 bath in the main bathroom!
