Spiral house
This inspiring loadbearing two-storey spiral-shaped house was the first of its kind in Europe, and is based on sacred
geometry. It was built by its owner Norita Clesham with Barbara Jones, Bee Rowan and over a hundred volunteers, most of
them women, with carpentry help from Willie and Gerard McDonagh. Begun in 2000, it was completed in three years.
