Ty-Mad makes the Breton connection

Ty-Mad has stout Irish stone inside and out under its quirkily rimmed ‘hat’ of a roof.

VIVE La France — this southern Ireland home with a Breton name, Ty-Mad, has a strong Gallic flair and flavour, informed and enthused by its owner’s time spent in western France.

Not only does it look a bit exotic with its sleepy, owl-like, eyelet dormer windows, but the roofing was done by a skilled crew brought over from the Continent to ply their trade: the result, with stout Irish stone inside and out under its quirkily rimmed ‘hat’ of a roof, is visually refreshing.
