Observation: drawings, plans & section, Killan house, Cavan, Ireland; 2018 - TOB architects . ‘The house is a compact 12m square .., and the overarching tripartite grid inspired by the Casino’s (Marino) rigid Neoclassical symmetry is subverted and pliant to accommodate domestic life.’’ .

Reflection: kitchen and entry hall, Killan house, Cavan, Ireland; 2018 - Thomas O’Brien architect . ‘The Killan house is deliberately unharmonious, appearing almost half-finished, as if the joiners and bricklayers could return tools in hand, any minute.’ .
