Dogpatch Labs is an emerging co-working space serving primarily the technology start-up market in Dublin, Ireland. Located in the historic chq building in Dublin’s docklands, a 200 year old former bonded warehouse, the space plays home to over 30 international companies and startups and up to 250 workers.

Undertaken as a collaboration between myself and two university associates over a space of two years our contracted roles with this exciting and fast paced company involved acting as in-house designers and

design consultant over various rapid phases of contruction.

Due to the fast paced nature of each phase the swift and clear dissemination of information across a broad design team was imperative to the success of the projects.

Responsibilities included the design, arrangement of construction drawings and management of various large scale furniture pieces, the spatial management of an ever changing workspace, the project management of two very fast paced construction periods and the masterplanning and enacment of various fit-out contracts.

Over the period of a year with dogpatch labs the spatial management of an ever active office floor was necessary to the smooth running of the space as a company. In a world where desk-space = revenue to the client the maximising of leasable office space was necessary while still retaining the casual characterstics of dogpatch which made it so attractive to potential clients.

The original conversion of Dogpatch from a defunct furniture store into office space formed the main bulk of Phase 1. Budget contraints being the nature of startup culture required creative and innovative ways of forming space and creating spaces to work. Timber wine boxes were adapted to shelving; re-purposed postal tubes stacked together became a meeting room divider; reclaimed timber for making furniture and salvaged ventilation turbines for coffee tables. These materials sit nicely with the old red brick walls of the storehouse, while workers are offered views out to the sophisticated cast-iron roof structure.

The feeling of old and new resonates throughout the building and tells a number of stories through its layered history

“Phase 2 of Dogpatch Labs” expands the office downstairs into the vaulted spaces beneath. Historically used for storing wine and whiskey as part of the bonded warehouses of Customs House Quay.

The setting provided its own challenge as a carefully curated palette of colours and materials was required to retain the character of the space. A more refined sense of place was needed to cater for a more corporate client while it was felt that it was important

to stay in keeping with the playfulness and bootstrap nature of startup culture. Reclaimed iroko salvaged from elsewhere in the building and other redundant mechanical pieces repurposed as furniture further ground the contemporary insertions in the space.

Conservation played an important role in retaining the dignity and character of the historic vaults and collaboration with conservation architect and the current building owners was a large factor in driving the project to completion.

Personal reponsibilities involved the design, preparation of construction drawings and management of several custom furniture pieces (hotdesks, bar, events space) and overall management of the interior fitout contract (to include acoustic, furniture specification and lighting).

Phase 3 takes Dogpatch Labs into the historic roof structure of the chq building. Adding a further 16,000 sq. ft. the space consists of a private internal office for a single tenant and a “gardens” space to serve existing community members of Dogpatch.

The brief called for an overall master-planning of the gardens space and also the design of various multifunctional furniture pieces to bring order and organisation to an otherwise vast and unwieldy space.

The functions of the mezzanine developed organically

from group discussion and it was established the more adaptive the space the more the utility of it could be maximised. Strongly defined functions help bookend the area while the looser defined activity of breakout and hot-desking have a more open reign to happen in the space between.

Highly multifunctional furniture gives the breakout space a further focal point to the space while can be broken apart and rearranged to form more intimate meeting space, while the theme of garden space is to be reinforced with casual lounge furniture breaking down the formality of the workplace and encouraging the spontaneity and collaborative nature of co-working space. The space was always seen as being a garden space and planting was to be one of the main components of a light and airy material pallette.

Over the summer of 2015 after completing my post graduate studies I joined modelworks media based in Blackrock, Co. Dublin. Modelworks specialised in the design, assembly and distribution of high grade architectural models for both market and planning stages. A large base of international clients meant models were made for export to not only Dublin but London, Dubai, and Malaysia.

As a modelmaker my responsibilities included not only the the physical act of assembling models but

also the planning and design which would go in to each.

Each piece would require the coordination of a large team of 5 to 20 people to carry the project from inception and design to execution, and responsibilities were expanded to the heading up of my own project.

Tools employed ranged from not only traditional carpentry, and cabinetmaking tools (tablesaws, drills, chiselwork, spraybooths etc) to newer techniques (lasercutting, 3d printing, c&c machines).

This time with modelworks allowed me to develop planning and management skills while allowing me pursue a passion and interest in building in a physical and tactile mode. It exposed me to a world of high pressure timescales with real world consequences which I found a sense of energy and urgency from.

“Most learning is not the result of instruction. It is rather the result of unhampered participation in a meaningful setting. Most people learn best by being “with it,” yet school makes them identify their personal, cognitive growth with elaborate planning and manipulation.”

Ivan Illich’s Deschooling Society

The North Wall in Dublin’s docklands has seen massive change in the past 30 years. Rail yards still scour the landscape here marking boundaries among communities and acting as reminders to the areas functional past.

There is a residual memory here of the docklands, the inhabitants now find themselves looking back on the old docklands to which they no longer belong and the new docklands to which the feel no part of.

A sense of isolation permeates in the community especially among the younger generations. Their natural creativity is that which formal education institutions seem reticent to nurture. It is labeled as “antisocial” and “unsafe” therefore compounding the isolation.

The intention of this thesis was to reintegrate this part of Dublin with the rest of the city. Both physically through a piece of infrastructure and also in offering the industrious youth of the communities a more attractive alternative to Bismarkian education system which doesn’t serve them anymore. I see in this area a great opportunity to combine an engaged and active older generation, active industry and a disenfranchised youth into an exciting community project.

The physical manifestation of this intention comes in three parts, the first being the bridge, a physical piece of infrastructure connecting two isolated communities, the second being a learning centre, serving the forgotten yet engaged community and the third being a trade school which services and repairs Irelands National Train Services’s fleet which connects a well established industry with a disenfranchised youth.

Construction is that reminiscent and modest in keeping with its working class past. Robust steel frames hark back to the gantry cranes while repurposed shipping containers form the module of space making with a nod to the current industry.

The analogy of the Urban Hedge School harks back to the Hedge School of penal Ireland in which informal, illegal education occurred literally in hedges. It is the idea of peer to peer learning in an inner city centre which I want to examine. The hedge in this sense is a piece of infrastructure or inhabited bridge linking the isolated communities of East Wall and North Wall across the disparate remnants of their functional past.
