    paper Essence of Flow
    "Water as the essence of life," combined with the industrial legacy of Dundalk, shapes the vision for the Wellness Hydro Spa. Drawing inspiration from the Cooley Mountains and the whiskey distillation process, the design embraces the transformative journey of water. Each feature represents a unique stage in this journey from the flowing streams that guide users through the green spaces, to the warmth of hydrotherapy pools that echo the distillation process. The spa integrates a connection to nature and community, creating a space that celebrates both individual relaxation and collective wellness. At the heart of the site, a series of private pods resembling whiskey stills emerge, symbolising the refinement and purity of water and its role in transformation. The surrounding pathways and streams lead visitors through a sequence of experiences, blending wellness with education and heritage. Located on a site rich with history, the design preserves the existing red brick great northern distillery building (formerly the head distillers house) while ensuring a seamless transition between the new and the old.
    paper The Wayfayer's Pause
    The Wayfarer's Pause is a hostel designed as a sanctuary for travellers, blending earth, sky, and tradition into a living, regenerative system. Inspired by the nomadic spirit of wayfarers and ancient practices of thatching, the project reimagines shelter as a cyclical dialogue between architecture and landscape. portfolio architecture
