Goblusk House sits on the southern banks of Lower Loch Erne, its form shaped by classical precedent and a deep connection to its setting. The design draws inspiration from Palladio’s Villa Forni-Cerato, reinterpreting its symmetry and proportion for a contemporary family home. Further influences were taken from a nearby Victorian Italianate mansion, lending a regional continuity to the architectural language.

At the heart of the house, a dramatic elliptical stair winds upwards beneath a glazed cupola, anchoring the plan and drawing natural light deep into the interior. This central volume creates a strong sense of procession and orientation, around which the living spaces are arranged. Externally, crisp stone detailing and carefully modulated façades lend the building a quiet dignity, sitting with confidence in the open landscape
