City Library Parnell Square North, Dublin 1 The new City Library is located in the former Colaiste Mhuire building at 23-28 Parnell Square North. These series of buildings were once individual Georgian houses and have limited protected status. Togther with the Hugh Lane Gallery and the Dublin Writers Museum, it is planned that the Library will become a new Cultural Quarter for Dublin. My interpretation of the Library brief was to adapt the exisiting buildings into its new function as a library. The site has previously contained a school which amalgamated the adjacent houses and this meant that their original interior layout has largely been lost. My proposal is to remove all aspects of that renovation in the most heavily adapted buildings and utilise this spacce for the library while restoring the rest to their original grandeur. By removing all floors and walls in houses 24, 25 & 26, I have created a large new space into which the library would be housed. I propose to place an inverted steel structure to house the library’s books. This intervention is an inversion on the construction of a georgian building. The new structure is hung from the new roof rather than stacked brick on brick and its primary material is steel instead of brick. By using this method I have created 7 floors of books in the original 4 storey over basement building. The new library core acts as the focal point of the design. It functions as the cheif organiser, orientator and divisor. It seperates the books from the grand rooms which are left for particular functions. The floors are divided on the principal of accesibility and privacy. Public interaction is kept to the lower floors while reading and reference are reserved for the uppers. This gives users great vantage points from which to view the city.

Community Housing St. Mary’s Place, Dublin1 This housing project is a study in assembly. Working at the personal and urban scale, the aim of the project is to use the housing as a vessel to knit back together the broken fabric of the Mountjoy area, rendering it part of the city again. Houses are defined by a central core made of CLT panels, which act as the primary structure and chief spatial organiser. The houses can be adapted through movable interior walls, which allow them to evolve with the tenants and their needs over its lifetime. A modular framing system of external cladding panels gives the tenants an oppourtunity to define their home. Through the use of screens and glazing, they can decide on the spatial quality of the interior while also further defining the boundary of their home’s exterior. This sense of ownership is a key characteristic of the project. The urban quality of the scheme is to create a new public plaza by repurposing the de-consecrated St Mary’s Chapel of Ease as a cultural venue for the north city. This space will act as an anchor tenant with Blessington basin, drawing people through the area. Public amenity is reserved for this level to encourage social and economic interaction. The plaza is an extension of the existing Dublin Civic Spine and proposed Cultural Quarter at Parnell Square. The space and the church act as a new destination for Dublin’s north city. The aim of this cultural aspect of the scheme is to restore a sense of community and pride to the Mountjoy St area, allowing it to flourish in the future.

South City Market Hotel Exchequer St, Dublin 2 This dissertation was chosen after considerable investigations in to the architectural context of Dublin city, primarily concerning the influence of its urbanite structure. It is from this analysis that I decided I would implement new criteria for civic spaces in Dublin. I plan to create an interstitial space, an area of reflection in an urban structure, inessence a break within the cities fabric. These smaller gathering spaces can offer relief from the congested city landscape and their proximity to the city centre means they are the most public of these civic spaces in terms of access and usability. It was at this point I chose South City Markets on south Great Georges St as my site for development. This Victorian market is still considered an ambitious project today and it’s for this reason I felt that it deserved careful regeneration. The original building is still in relatively good repair but has been let down by poor tenancy and lax planning laws which have changed the original layout. I was very intrigued by the location and design of the ‘Georges St Arcade’ which is housed inside the south city markets. This immediately brought together possibilities of how the external city room could work together with the planned arcade. Due to the heavily ornate exterior of the South City Markets building, I felt a form of accommodation would be the most suitable tenancy as the decorative nature of the building and its history limited it to certain functional typologies. I choose to implement a hotel design into the site as it matched the boutique criteria of the location.

Pavilion Bray, Co. Wicklow The aim of this project was to create a new focal point for the deteriorating seafront of the seaside town of Bray. An ancillary aim was to use all recyclable materials in the construction of the pavilion.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
After extensive research into the urban and historical fabric of Bray, I decided to create a homage to the town’s past as a leisure capital. The long history of boat building gave me both the primary material of the pavilion but also the style and method of construction. My design is to create a new focal point for the long promenade on the sea front. The new pier pavilion runs perpendicular to the promenade, breaking through the skirting barrier and ending above the shore, thus reconnecting the town to the sea directly. The pier consists of tourist information offices, cafe/gallery, diving pier and washing facilities. The pavilions function is to make the beach a more inhabitable space within a lightweight and un-intrusive structure. The structure is broken periodically by large openings. These openings are designed to frame certain views which were unobtainable from the shoreline. The removal of the inhabitant from the promenade allows them to look back at the town from a new perspective. This coupled with the programmatic divisions of the pier, give the pavilion a unique standing in the promenade, as it is break from it which allows reflection on both the shoreling and sea.

RE: Dáire Kelly
May, 10th, 2014
To Whom it may Concern, Dáire Kelly is currently a student at the Dublin School of Architecture. I had the pleasure of teaching Dáire in Fourth Year and found him to be an thoughtful designer, addressing a wide range of issues in his projects with a determination to progress the conceptual basis of his work. Dáire consistently challenged accepted conventions and sought to approach design issues from his own fresh perspective. This was particularly evident in his Semester 2 Housing Project where he developed a project from an urban scale to detailed design. Dáire at all times conduced himself in a calm manner despite the pressures of deadlines, he is someone who sets his own high standard and evaluates her own performance objectively. Dáire is a good natured person, thoughtful designer, with enthusiasm for the culture of architecture and the built environment. I have no hesitation in recommending him to a future employer, should you wish to contact me directly I can be reached at the above mobile number or e-mail address

14.05.13 To whom it may concern: Daire Kelly joined us in October 2012 as a student architect intern as part of his Year Out studies, and worked with us until April 2013. He leaves to return to complete his studies in university. During his time with McCullough Mulvin Architects, Daire worked on a wide range of projects and made a valuable contribution to the teams he worked with in the office. His work has encompassed early design phase drawings, Planning, Fire cert and DAC drawings, design development drawings, all using Macintosh Vectorworks, model making, and 3D visualizations using Sketch-Up and Photoshop programmes. While in the office he assisted on a number of projects at many stages including drawings for planning stage for St Marys Church which included accurate recording of stone facades, adjustment of drawings for a project currently on site: Dun Laoghaire Senior College, detail drawings for a signage design & installation in Trinity College and planning documentation for a house in Killiney Co Dublin. He also visited sites to get experience of the construction aspect of the work of an architect and design team. He worked on design development through card models for a series of projects for the HSE involving site and form concept models, massing and spatial development: one of these was an important tool in gaining acceptance for the concept. Daire fitted very well into the office, and was an enthusiastic outgoing contributor to all office discussions and projects, always willing to propose an opinion or a position in relation to the issues at hand. He demonstrated a commitment to getting things right, and to investigating the possibilities of options and thinking about different ways of doing things. This will stand to him in his professional life as an architect. He is a hard working member of any team - self motivated and independent. He has a great interest in all aspects of architectural investigation, and can quickly grasp the essentials of a project and assist in exploring the design in a variety of media. Daire has demonstrated a serious and enthusiastic intent to get to grips with all aspects of the architect’s life, taking on all challenges with good humour and applying himself with patience and diligence. We wish him every success with his future studies. Yours sincerely,
Ruth O’Herlihy BArch BSc MRIAI Director McCullough Mulvin Architects
