Mies van der Rohe-inspired Goulding House was designed by Dublin-based Scott Tallon Walker architects between 1971 and 1973. The house, which is located on the luscious banks of the River Dargle in rural County Wicklow, south of Dublin, was fully restored in 2002. The house was originally designed for Sir Basil Goulding: a great gardener and art collector. He and his wife, Lady Goulding, hence wanted their summerhouse for hosting parties and conferences to occupy as little of the garden as possible. The resulting design is a single-storey, 10-metre cantilever building over the river, and is supported on the only rock outcrop available without disturbing the natural vegetation of the gorge. Diagonal bracing effectively converts the side elevations into beam structures, and a steel column on the rock below together with rock anchors make possible the three-bay cantilever over the river. The final two bays are fully glazed, whilst the three bays nearest the bank are clad in cedar which softens the otherwise crisp High-Tech architecture.
