Sligo Central Library

My design for the insert reading space in the Sligo library was inspired by that idea of having sense of place and belonging, having a calm and comfortable space that does not interrupt the flow of the existing structure.

From a young age I have always had an interest in the urban environment around me. I was always fascinated by buildings and the progression of design to construction to the finished product. Being from a small town in the midlands of Ireland I always felt that having a sense of place was very important to all architectural design. I am delighted to have chosen to study at IT Sligo because the architectural design philosophy is similar to that of my own.
