House of the Week

YEARS of professional architectural expertise went into making No 2, Woodview a simple viewing pleasure. It’s a Leeside home that works.

Set just where the River Lee divides into its north and south channels by the end of the Lee Fields and Wellington Bridge, this recreated, and re-imagined home, is a city one-off, with a weir as a feature backdrop, and the water under its nose.

And, before any alarm bells start ringing, or wringing, it’s a place that didn’t get a drop of water damage or ingress two years ago when a devastating dam discharge at Inniscarra wreaked havoc downriver and on into the city centre. That’s wholly reassuring.
