This small apartment is ideal as a luxury holiday let or a small annexe to an existing house. There are three options, the second with built-in bunkbeds accessed from the main living space. A third option removes the bedroom but has a climb-in bed recess. A cluster of these buildings could form a tourism development, subject to the planning permission and other approvals required for that use.
This design can provide additional accommodation beside a main home. Ask about the dimensions and specification of any proposed garden-dwelling version. Ireland’s Class 3A exemption is conditional: a model’s floor area alone does not establish eligibility. Your Irish adviser must check the site, roof height and materials, existing garden structures, access, services and intended use against the full rules. The exemption does not cover short-term letting or hotel accommodation. Read our Irish planning guidance.
The most popular external finish is black larch, although profiled (corrugated) metal sheeting is also common. Depending on which package you opt for, we could fit the exterior cladding for you.

Our eco-friendly designs, inspired by traditional Hebridean architecture, are sympathetic to the landscape and can be readily adapted to your specific location and requirements.

The Airigh 3A Collection adapts three of our most popular Airigh designs for Ireland’s new Class 3A garden dwelling exemption. Each architect-designed home has a floor area of no more than 45m² and may be built without planning permission where all site-specific conditions are met.
