“From tired Bungalow to Fabulous retreat.” House Robb situated at 47 Ballyreagh Road, Portstewart has recently featured in Coast magazine. We have included a section of the editorial below that was write by feature writer, Janet McMeekin.
“To bring their ideas to fruition, the Robbs enlisted the help of designer Stephen McMonagle of Studiorogers Architects Ltd, based in nearby Coleraine. They gave him a clear brief. ‘The light in this part of the world is so special we hoped to bring as much of it into our new home as possible,’ Caroline says.
‘The site called for something simple, with white rendering and weatherboarding and plenty of glass to let in that wonderful light,’ says Stephen. ‘I felt that the site explained how the house would work.’ Inverting the living accommodation seemed obvious, as was creating two large balconies at the front and rear of the home where the family could have barbecues and a grandstand view as the motorbikes whizz past during the famous North West 200 road race.”
