Carlow Arts Centre

Darmody Architecture was the sole Irish architects practice to be selected from a list of 130 practices in a competition to design a new arts centre for Carlow Town. The brief was to design a centre of contemporary arts which included three significant exhibition spaces, artist studios, a 200-seat auditorium and an information centre together with a cafe and restaurant. The solution involved the creation of a singular glazed building volume which would articulate the uses within.
