Scoil Mhuire Ógh

This extension of Scoil Mhuire Ógh (Loreto Senior Primary School) faces a busy road with a varied and formally confused context around it. The concrete and timber building asserts itself, identifying itself as a civic building from the start. The austere concrete is softened by the honey wood, while the interior is full of light and spatial intrigue, making for a very satisfactory and exciting learning space.
