Tossed and Found
The centre will encourage visitors to expand their knowledge in sustainability and learn new skills. Voids are used to connect the workshops from the ground floor to the second floor of the main building, creating multiple views of the interior and sparking the visitor’s curiosity. Material insertions within the space create a contemporary backdrop, contrasting and highlighting the original architectural features of the Georgian building.
“Tossed and Found” is a re-purposing centre located in an eighteenth-century Georgian building in Limerick City. The Georgian building is unique to Limerick with its limestone exterior. This project intends to create a community-based centre for locals and for the West of Ireland, allowing visitors to shop, eat, attend classes and experience first-hand, wit work carried out by the staff in the workshops. Podcast studios and meeting rooms will also be available.
