Design Theory

The Mini Project Ideology.

In the mini project I converted 4 apartmens in Dolphin's Barn social housing complex in Dublin into a living unit for 4 troubled youths and a live-in supervisor. The troubled teenagers in my brief suffered from learning/concentration problems due to experiences growing up. They have fallen behind in school and are acting out getting themselves into trouble because of this.

My ideology was to create a safe, positive and inspiring learning environment in this apartment. My design was inspired by mountains. I wasted the design to help the youth grow and learn and inspire them to reach for something. I wanted the teenagers to feel safe and inspired to learn in the apartment I designed for them.

My Bachelor degree project







I thought i should put up last year's final project. I designed a hostel for the homeless.
The existing building is the Rathmines post office in Dublin 6.
My concept for this project was the game Tetris.
