I was given a design brief to renovate and extend the existing derelict cottage and to make the most of the roaring water sea views! Vanessa was passionate about keeping the existing cottage and working the design around same. After agreement on the proposed deisgn, the planning permission proved very difficult but we got there in the end – persistence was the key!! Working drawings and tender documents were completed shortly after & PJ O’ Donovan Construction, Skibbereen was appointed the builder.
