Our story
It started with a small house by the sea.
Over the course of a year, I transformed an aging seaside cottage called Ag na Farraige into the home I had imagined it could become. The work required patience, resourcefulness, hands-on craftsmanship and hundreds of decisions—large and small.
That experience reminded me why I entered construction in the first place: to improve real places for real people. It ultimately inspired me to leave corporate construction management and establish Egypt Residential.

Transformation
Ag na Farraige
A modest coastal cottage, thoughtfully reconsidered and rebuilt around everyday living.
Front & Entry
The weathered entry and enclosed porch were carefully rebuilt while preserving the cottage's modest coastal character.
Main Living Space
The original kitchen and living area were opened to the structure, reconsidered, and rebuilt into one comfortable everyday space.
Front Porch
A tired enclosed porch became a bright coastal room that connects the house to its surroundings.
Rear & Deck
The rear exterior and deck were rebuilt to improve durability, access, and the connection between the cottage and yard.
The finished home
The result is a modest coastal cottage made brighter, more comfortable and more useful—without losing the character that made it worth saving.
