Canadian pride in the heart of Waterford

WHEN an owner gets heavily involved in the planning and design of their house, there is always something that marks it out as special.

Usually, the passion of the owner and the skill of the architect combine to create truly remarkable residences. Woodfield Lodge in Dunmore East, Co Waterford, proves just how much this is born out in reality.

After spending several years living in Canada, the owner of the house wanted to take the traditional aspects of Canadian house design and transport it to one of the country's most scenic settings.
