Competition Winner: Irish Architecture Regional Awards 1998
The Arranmore Holiday Village was designed and build as a result of the first ever Irish holiday homes design competition. The award winning design was submitted by Dublin based architects, O’Dowd, O’Herlihy Horan Architects. The competition was organised by The Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland on behalf of Comharchumann Oileán Árainn Mhór. The project was backed by Údarás na Gaeltachta and Donegal County Council.
The winning scheme was judged to have most effectively addressed itself to the key issues of orientation, access, appropriate design and sense of place.
The assessors report described the layout of the entry as ‘an apparently artless distribution’ along the contours of the island site ‘generating an interesting non-pretentious relationship with the rock out-crop.’ The proposed assembly of buildings ‘comes from the use of traditional materials and appropriate technology in a rationalist straightforward style.’
The Arranmore Holiday Village was officially opened in 1997 by Jean Kennedy-Smith
Located 3 miles from the mainland in the clear blue waters of the Atlantic, Árainn Mhór is the largest island in a necklace of islands strung along the North West Coast of Donegal.
It is an island of peaceful tranquility and of stunning landscapes which charm all of the senses. Árainn Mhór is a Gaeltacht island of culture and deeply rooted traditional values where Irish is spoken as a community language.
The island’s close proximity to the mainland, coupled with regular, reliable passenger and vehicle ferry services from the harbour at Burtonport – Áilt an Chorráin – ensure that Árainn Mhór is accessible in all seasons.
Árainn Mhór has something for everyone. Experience local activities, explore the island by day and enjoy the island’s vibrant nightlife by night!
Arranmore Island is situated just three miles off the north west coast of Donegal. Access to the island is by means of passenger and vehicle ferries from Burtonport Harbour.Geograpic Coordinates: 54.9780, -8.4974
