Meander is a two-storey, flat-roofed, detached house, dating from 1939. It was designed and - to a large extent - built by its owners the architect couple Alan and Mairin Hope. It is constructed of block-work, is sheeted externally in horizontal cedar boarding and lined internally with oak and mahogany plywood. The house retains its original fenestration, external and internal finishes. The architects responded in a senitive manner to the existing woodland setting, which surrounds a series of natural ponds, andd eveloped the gardens. Meander has long been recognised as an example of Modernism in Ireland.
