Last year I travelled to Berlin on my year out where I worked as an intern for 6 months with Hütten & Paläste Architekten. I worked on a number of interesting projects of different scales, including an experimental ‘Circular Economy lab’ in Neukoln for a local art collective and a pavillion in the Bavarian town of Wassertrüdingen. During my internship I spent most of my time producing models and visualisations, axonometrics and hidden line drawings. I also spent some time working on site in Neukoln getting to know the clients and working with them to build the first stage of the CE lab. I met a lot of interesting people and learned a great deal.

21 The Play Shed Hawthorn Crescent, Dundalk
When I was younger my father and my grandfather built a tree house for me in the back garden. It stayed there throughout my childhood capturing the imagination of myself and my friends. Over the last decade or so the small structure suffered a great deal of weathering and general wear and tear until it became a little to dubious to set foot in During my own free time i have taken on the task of designing and building a new shed with my father for my younger sister. The new building takes a great deal of inspiration from the original, with a similar post and beam structure and a platform raised one meter off the ground elevating its inhabitants to the eye level of the neighbouring birds. The new design also introduces some new features I would have enjoyed as a child such as a goalmouth facing the garden, a view of the adjacent trees and a small shelter for the dog. 7. 8.

III. A School of Place St. Mary’s Road, Dundalk

27 A School of Place St. Mary’s Road, Dundalk
This studio project brief is too design a new secondary school for St. Mary’s College, Dundalk. The original school was established in 1861 to teach 61 students, over the next 150 years it grew longer and longer through a great number of extensions until it was unfeasible to continue maintaining and extending the school and the decision was made to build a new school on the site of the playing grounds. My proposal is the exploded plan school, that of numerous buildings, each one dispersed around the playing field, sitting in and around the trees. Each building is fit to a different subject and inspired by a local typology or legend. The student encounters many interesting moments throughout the day, not unlike the surprising nooks and crannies to be found within the old school. However, these new spatial experiences are liberated from the congestion of the old narrow corridors and given the necessary space to breath and to think. The student of the new school is suddenly aware of their local environment, whether it’s the mature oak above or the mysterious mounain in the distance, there is something to be learned from each.

35 MAPPED A Study of Planned Irish Villages
This year, along with five other students and our tutor Miriam Delaney, I produced a book on planned Irish vilages, we worked throughout the year to produce a new body of research on estate villages while also compiling two years of previous research on utopian and post industrial villages to produce this book. At end of the year we designed an exhibition to accompany the book, which was hosted by the Irish Architecture Foundation, where we recently held our book launch.
