Samantha Sullivan, UL President’s House – Shelley McNamara

The final building I am going to talk about is the University of Limerick President house in Limerick, Ireland. The President of Limerick actually had 2 house’s. The first was named “the White House” so McNamara and partner decided to make the second house white as well.  The president’s house is often used to entertain donors or academics that are visiting the campus. The formal rooms of the house are all stacked on the south side while the private informal rooms are on the north side. There are two staircases that make it possible for the public and private sections of the house to coexist. This follows traditional Irish housing design where formal and private areas are kept separate.
