Biggest ever Green Door Weekend receives rave reviews

The Green Door Festival was held in Leitrim over the weekend and it proved to be a resounding success.

Thirty nine inspirational homes were open to the public over the weekend and the reaction from those who were at the event was overwhelmingly positive.

The memetic house - innovative design does not have to be seen as a luxury item, this house cost the same to build per square meter as a suburban semi d or one off bungalow. #dominicstevens #leitrim #GreenDoor #architecture #nofilter

Last house of the day, not the least by anymeans either. In fact there were too many houses to try and see over the weekend, maybe it could be created into two weekends?! Just a suggestion.. This gorgeous house though has been yet another labour of 10years of love, struggle and dust. Self build restoration project on a stone built cottage dating from 1790. Walls stripped of concrete render this property can now breath the air from the spectacular valley below. Lyn and Steve have created an oasis of organic bliss complete with farm animals and living the real simple life. Wonderful spot. #greendoor #greendoorweekend #irishcottage #inspiration #interiorarchitecture #interiordesign #ireland
