Located in Kilkenny City, Co. Kilkenny this is a mixed-use housing project with six types of units across 20 units in total. On Tilbury place, a terrace of 1970s houses stand waiting to fall. I chose this as my site and my design would require the terrace to be demolished. Adjacent to a multi-story car park, also to be demolished in this project, I used the grain of the original terrace to create a grid to place the housing units.

Kilkenny - city and Adaptation
Cillian Quigley - C22411794
This project respects the scale of Kilkenny but also increases it with a monument in the form of a water tower. In turn, the water tower gives back to the immediate locality of the housing complex and to the wider local community in Kilkenny. By planning various in between spaces and considering the relationship between public and private spaces, the sharing platform serves as the central concept of this project.

Located on Kellyville Lake Co. Laois, this project focuses on community, landscape and shared living. Inspired by vernacular longhouses, this building allows the community to all live, eat, work and interact together under one shared roof. Rice fields and vegetable beds followed the plan of the longhouse to create a consistency in the landscape.

My design for a pavilion using the extents of only one material was geometrically created using circles because of the material technology: 3D printing. The material would be printed by a crane which rotates on a central axis, creating the curved plan. Layer by layer, the walls carefully corbel to create an arch. The two sides of the pavilion intertwine as the layers build up and a small skylight is created in the gap between.

Using the same 3D printing technology, only this time the material is printed by a gantry system allowing for omnidirectional movement. Using a composite stone material, I designed a 3D printed Community Center for the eco village in Cloughordan county temporary inspired by Louis Kahn’s first Unitarian church in Rochester, New York, the Community Center, and its thick, 3D printed, walls created a sense of occupying the walls and the space within a space.

One of the first precedent studies I did. This project introduced me to structure and pavilion and it was my first proper attempt at a model like this. This building is still one of my favorites today.

Pavilion in Phoenix Park

Using what I learned from the precedent study of Markli’s La Congiunta, I attempted to design a pavilion of my own, located in Phoenix Park, Co. Dublin, the structure offers a space to gather, sit, relax and enjoy the scenery of the park.
I have included two sketches from a trip to Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, which showcases my life drawing skills: a pencil sketch of the Baths and a drawing of the Lexicon ceiling done with a brush pen.

Part of a project in first year required me to survey a building in Inistioge, Co. Kilkenny. Using photographs and survey notes, I created a detailed, rendered elevation of the building.

For my first solo design project I was tasked with creating student accommodation on a mews site on Henrietta lane, Co. Dublin. My design choices led me to create a hub for student living which emphasizes circulation and accentuates the stairs.

My final project in first year was a community hall for Inistioge, Co. Kilkenny. Large glazed windows along the ground level allow for views into a sunken hall space and circulation takes the form of a ramp and stairs down to the lower level.
