Milan Architect Restores Irish Thatched Gem | Dublin News

An Italian architect traded Milan for a historic 1902 cottage in Spiddal, County Galway, diving headfirst into Ireland’s ancient thatching traditions to restore its iconic roof — now boasting a new decorative ridge and a 30-year lifespan. Inside, he preserved original charm: sash windows, a half door, and a Liscannor stone floor, opening up just one wall for a cozier living space. With underfloor heating, a traditional hearth, and two bedrooms plus a loft, the home’s rustic soul meets modern comfort — all for 550K euros. He even picked up Irish to blend in, and now’s off to Wexford, but hopes the next owner cherishes its quiet magic and storied past.
