Gyreum Eco Lodge

Deep in the countryside of County Sligo, Ireland, lurks a little eco lodge and guesthouse, half-buried in the soil. It was constructed almost entirely from local renewable materials including wood from the local forests, and sheep’s wool and recycled fiberglass for insulation. Water is re-plumbed through a system of reed beds and ponds while heat and power is drawn from a combination of geothermal heat and wind turbine power.

The Eco-lodge will in future incorporate a living roof, for minimal impact on the landscape and solar panels. The lodge was the first to receive the European Union’s Eco Label. Incidentally, it’s aligned to a few solar events and surrounded by megalithic tombs, which, while not particularly eco-friendly is really cool.

  2. I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Great work!
