Chosen Building for Honours Bachelors Degree Project

                                           1-2 Upper Hatch Street, Dublin 2

I have chosen 1-2 Upper Hatch Street as the building for my 4th year studio project.

It is located in Dublin City Center on Upper Hatch Street and is close to St. Stephens Green and Harcourt Street.

It is currently being used as an office building with different businesses renting floors of the building.

It was refurbished in 2005 and is around 3800m sq
and consists of 9 levels including a basement and several outdoor terraces.

I am proposing to redesign the building with the intention of changing the buildings use to a high spec art facility that will include both public and private areas.

I plan to accommodate live in / work units for professional artists, educational space for MA Fine Arts students, exhibition space, a cafe and much more.
