Memory Harbour
This double volume protected building is located at Kempten Promenade Abbey Quarter North Sligo formerly known as Shambles Street, has been in existence since the 18th Century and has served various functions such as a stables, a hotel, a brewery, and a bar – night club. This project will have a poetic flare that tells its story in a sensorial way allowing its users to experience the life of W.B YEATS through its functionality and aesthetics. The aim is to create a zero-waste building, re-designing the functional layout while preserving its original facade as a heritage building. The focus of this project will be on the materials, detailing, spatiality, and ornamentation to give it symbolic value.
