One of Ireland's most spectacular contemporary homes, situated on a unique elevated site of approximately one acre with astonishing views of Killiney Bay and the Wicklow Mountains. The secret to Ananda is the profound connection between the house and its spectacular surroundings which results in a homes with a serene ambience that can only be truly appreciated upon visiting.
Architect Ross Cahill O'Brien and the current owners agreed early in the design process that, due to the unique setting, indoors and the outdoors of this property should blend whenever possible.
With a breathtakingly positioned site surrounded by mature trees, granite rock, sea, and mountain views with only the vast sky above, the design was always going to be the key. The outside has been 'invited' indoors wherever possible and vice-versa. A first-time visitor to the property will get a powerful sense of this blend as soon as they stand at the front of the house and are able to see straight through the structure to a surreal-like panoramic framing of the Sugarloaf Mountain.
These design decisions have manifested themselves into one of the finest, naturally artistic, properties that South County Dublin has to offer. Nature meets contemporary architecture as a curved undulating frame blends granite, steel, hardwood, and glass of exceptional craftsmanship, whilst providing a never-ending range of modern comforts. The balance of a unique rural ambience in an urban setting offers privacy, peace and tranquillity combined with its accessible coastal location within easy reach of Dublin City making the location faultless.
The ground and first floor are finished in an extra wide, high quality, solid oiled oak boards. Designed for entertaining and home life, Ananda offers a magnificent double living room featuring a striking glass climate-controlled wine room. This is the ultimate working from home location. There is a second entrance at the side of the house which serves for the daily access for shopping, sports, or school activities.
