Party on in the summerhouse

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2002 / September 05 2002: Party on in the summerhouse

Seen from the river, the Goulding Summerhouse appears to float high above the banks of the Dargle River. This gem of modernist simplicity was built in 1972 by Sir Basil Goulding in the lush gardens of his Enniskerry home and after years of neglect it has been renovated by its current owner, property developer John Ronan. Designed by architect Ronnie Tallon, it is a single-storey rectangular box made of glass, steel and cedar.
