Located in Great Patrick Street in Belfast, a disused warehouse has been transformed into a warm, welcoming youth facility by Doherty Architects. With a tight schedule, Dohertys had to design efficiently, creating models of the existing building in Archicad and working in 3D from the start.
Designed by PMR Architecture, Lower Woodland Barns is a development of two sustainable, low-cost and high-quality homes built on the site of a former agricultural barn in South Devon.
Carlow Town’s new outdoor event space for culture and public experiences in the centre of town. A transformed derelict site, this multipurpose space offers endless possibilities for event organisers, providing an accessible and inclusive focal space for locals and visitors to enjoy.
St. Martin’s was built on a former Templar estate in the 15th to 16th centuries in the late Gothic-Renaissance style. Today, the church lies in ruins as a result of the great earthquake of 1880. Numerous structural cracks occurred during the earthquake and the vaults were partially or completely demolished; the church was never repaired and forgotten over time. The ruins are a protected cultural monument, listed in the Republic of Croatia’s Registry of Cultural Property.
The purpose of the project is to restore this valuable historic building and to revitalize the entire area. The basic building elements missing today are the tower roof and the nave. In the bell tower, the masonry, cracks and foundations will be structurally repaired first. After that, a new, contemporary dome is planned, which will resemble the original baroque dome, but will be adapted to serve the new purpose of the bell tower – a lookout tower. A new spiral staircase or lift is planned for access to the tower.
