Ballyfermot Leisure & Youth Centre Project
Project: Ballyfermot Leisure & Youth Centre Project
Architect: McGarry Ni Eanaigh Architects
The primary aim for this development was to consolidate the public domain placing two buildings around a new public space and forming a new entrance into the park. Different expectations between the two buildings determined a large scaled public building for all ages in the leisure centre with the youth centre being directed at a teenage audience with a more intensely packed brief. The gestures in the leisure centre are sweeping, operating at the scale of a sports hall; whereas, the youth centre has a smaller scale design.
