Professional Experience
Freelance Work 2019 - Present
Designed two houses which are currently in the planning process, one in rural Ireland, and the other in challenging central Dublin site. A strong understanding of regulations and construction methods were required during the design stage. It was also a good opportunity to hone communication skills, liaising between clients and planning officers.
Momentum Exhibition 2021
Constructed a large installation in the Irish Architecture Foundation with Plattenbau studio. Completed a 1:1 replica of Dublin “bedsit” typology out of paper as a comment on the Irish housing crisis. The exhibition received widespread recognition and acclaim in Ireland.
Commissions 2021
Commissioned by Dublin City Council to construct a detailed presentation model of a proposed family resource centre, with the aim of creating awareness and raising funds for the project.
Commissioned to complete a set of extensive exhibition drawings for an installation in a Dublin Arts centre, located in an historic postal sorting office. The drawings aim to show the building during three periods, examining and highlighting the building’s energy consumption as part of a wider dialogue about the construction industry’s role in the climate crisis.
