Unique style offers break from norm

Although not to everyone’s taste, this house will appeal to those with an eye for difference, says Tommy Barker.

SOME of the big, three-storey houses in Cork’s completed Pembroke Wood scheme veered from the norm when first designed and launched for sale in the early to mid-2000s.

Some people loved them, others couldn’t get their heads around the fact they were quite radically different from the usual, often banal, standard floor plan.
