Sheer luxury by the sea

Glass is used to very stylish effect, says Trish Dromey and gives the occupants vantage points to watch the sun come up and go down on Galway Bay

Glass is used to very stylish effect and for letting in the light while also presenting the occupants with vantage points to watch the sun come up and go down on Galway Bay. The unconventional, unusual shaped house, designed by Galway architects Simon J Kelly & Co, is very definitely not a box.
