Barneys Ruins
Barney’s Ruins, an 1830s Irish clachan in Gortinure, was once home to Patrick’s great-great-uncle Bernard, or “Barney.” Abandoned for over a century, the cottage fell into ruin until Patrick and his father restored it to honor their ancestor’s legacy. Patrick’s vision paired a sleek, modern cottage "floating" above the ruins with a luminous, iconic design. The adjacent barn, formerly a home for the family bull, was transformed into a striking modern barn conversion, blending history with innovation.
