A restored schoolhouse in Sligo has been redesigned with nods to its scholastic past and custom fit for a pair of surfers.

It’s a very rural Irish thing, entering a home through the back door. In fact, it’s possibly where the term “culchie” came from: “cúl an tí” meaning the back of the house, and this converted Sligo schoolhouse is no different. However, although designed with rural heritage in mind, it is also very contemporary.to restore and extend the old schoolhouse in the village of Strandhill.

The building was originally the national school of Strandhill, in the heart of the village where the architect grew up. The school closed in the late 1970s or early 1980s; Elizabeth went to the new national school down the road and observed this building take on many guises over the years, including a hostel with skate ramps, and later, a crèche.
