Kilmainham Courthouse

In order to function as a visitor facility, the Courthouse required four new elements; a bridge across the entrance hall to connect the previously separated Grand and Petty Jury first floor rooms, ticket facilities, a bookshop and a café. These are strategically placed so as not to hinder movement. Their architectural language is restrained; the bridge is made from unpainted steel balusters and is placed in the space to ensure the entrance hall volume and formality is retained. The formality in the execution of other new elements and a palpable level of austerity in the decorative scheme ensures there are echoes of the character and impact of the original Gaol entrance; directly underneath the Lernaean Hydra.
