Home-life in The Bridge Community

House communities form the heart and life of our community - this is where people create a homeand can be with friends. We currently have 3 house communities in the town of Kilcullen, 2 of which are located on ourmain site right in the centre, one in a nearby housing estate.

Isserin Isserin was the first house that was owned by the community! It was built in 1997 and is the biggest house in our community. Alltogether there are 16 people living there at the moment and the large dining room table is famous for stretching to encompass many visitors over the years. Many a party has been held in this house whose open plan sitting and dining room were also until recently the only spaces big enough to encompass our whole community.

Brigheen

The little house in the woods is in fact a prefab building that is nicely cladded with timber on the outside and looks like a log cabin surrounded by trees. It was built in 2003 largely with our own labour. The large deck at the entrance has seen many a barbeque in summer and the open plan kitchen / dining / sittingroom has a warm and cosy feeling. At the moment Brigheen is a home to 8 people. Recently Kalle a coworker from Finland who has now moved back to his native country on built a little mudhouse for his son Aarnie just in front of Brigheen , which has the charm of a little hobbit hut and puts a smile on visitors faces.

Annamaes

Annamae's is our only house in a housing estate in the town called Riverside, and is just beside the river Liffey. This house was also built in 2003 at the peak mof the Celtic Tiger economic boom.
The house despite being a normal house built as part of the estate has a very spacious feeling and generous common areas. It is just a 5 minutes walk from The Bridge Communities grounds and houses 7 people at present. It is a strong part of the town and a natural extension to the wider community.
