17A House for a Painter
‘Artist In Residence’: An Artist Work Space And Dwelling, No. 17a The Mall
The project brief is to rework an existing building and site in the cultural quarter of Sligo Town Centre.
The intention for this house is to create a space that inspires creativity and artistic expression. the building need to successfully house and maintain the relationship between the three main functions required by the artist. A space for creating art, a space for displaying their art and a space for living. The spaces for the client to create and display their painting needs to be well lit by natural light when possible. In my design these spaces are lit by southern light or diffused light through a light well. The intervention is mainly focused on the interior while preserving the character of the building in it’s context.
