Dublin Design Centre
The aim of this design project was to convert the existing Gaiety Centre which is a modern inner city Dublin shopping centre into an Interior Design Centre. This design was inspired by a recent trip to London’s Chelsea Harbour Design Centre. The Interior Design Centre provides a comprehensive solution to address the needs of both professional interior designers and the public to access the very best and latest innovations in the world of interior design. It will be a premier destination for design and decoration excellence. There are inspiring product showrooms which provide stimulating settings to showcase design ideas, and the first port of call for interior designers, architects and stylists looking for specialist expertise.
The building was re-designed to facilitate the brief in a creative fashion. Research into similar projects internationally provided inspiration and guidance on how to achieve this. The facilities the building provides allows customers to relax, have a coffee, and to perhaps dwell on their experience and possibly make decisions regarding design solutions or potential purchases. There is a lot of visual impact throughout the building, this can be seen by the use of colour, texture and lighting. The Dublin Design Centre’s concept came from the façade of the building. The shape is used throughout the building and incorporated into the voids, stairs, reception desks, and walls. The Dublin Design Centre is the first of its kind in Ireland, giving designers a place to collaborate and network within their creative field.
My intention is that people will leave the building with the impression of having a wonderful series of experiences rather than just visiting a showroom.
