THESIS PROJECT - IRFU HQ

IRISH RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION HEADQUARTERS
The power of design can transform an organisation. With that in mind, for my thesis project I proposed to design the first Irish Rugby Football Union Headquarters that incorporates the administrative arms of the organisation along with a state of the art training facility. By researching behind the scenes of the IRFU’s current set up I was able to custom design spaces that suited the organisations exact needs for both the staff and players to excel. The design concept derived from the rugby ball itself. It enabled me to create interesting structures and forms within the building.
With recent success for both the men’s and women’s national and provincial teams, the facilities provided in this building would aid future performance and become a centre of excellence for up and coming players in the years ahead.
