The design for the new central library and cultural centre for the Dun Laoghaire Council was envisaged as a connecting link between the town and the seafront through a seamless flow of indoor and outdoor public spaces.

The wings are formed around a central green atrium space that performs as a breathing climatic membrane for the scheme bringing in fresh air and light, also serves as a spatial split allowing for internal bridges creating a unique spatial experience as one passes from one wing to another. Highlighting the play of natural and artificial light the glazed and louvered skin with its irregularly placed horizontal mullions would orchestrate games of reflection and absorption of daylight, thus animating facades of the library and cultural spaces.
