Surveying the threshold of Kunstverein Aughrim for our upcoming participatory engagement workshop as part of @culturenight
Participants will assemble and test a temporary access ramp in the form of a drawbridge that can be inserted into the building's threshold.
With @kunstverein_aughrim and @irisharchitecturefoundation
We are looking forward to progressing this housing development in Co Carlow over the coming year. The project seeks to compliment traditional private domestic gardens with shared green spaces of different types and quiet streets.
We are delighted that Ros Kavanagh’s short film of our exhibition “A Reaction to Place” will be showing during Open House (Sunday 15th October) at the inspiring Fairview home of @coisceimdancetheatre . This special place is open for the day, and visitors are invited to explore the building and catch a glimpse of the work created there.

Working closely with @coisceim.broadreach , we were involved in the transformation of a former Victorian post office to a contemporary dance studio. The project called for minimal intervention; a heated sprung floor and cork-floored changing rooms. The history of this place is revealed in its recovered volumes and layered, fire-stained brickwork.

Suppose a Stone is an exploratory project looking at accessibility in Aughrim, Co. Wicklow. Join us tomorrow for an online Reimagine Café where we will reflect on all of the work to date, including our Sensory Walk in July with @kunstverein_aughrim@aoife_and_@tealska and @coisceim.broadreach This walking workshop was an immersive experiment designed to heighten our senses, to make the familiar unfamiliar, to broaden our experience and consider that of people of different ages and abilities.

*Suppose a Stone is a collaboration between Kunstverein Aughrim, Aughrim Tidy Towns CLG, Aughrim Active Retirement Group and Howff. Together we are undertaking an all-ages, creative accessibility study of the town of Aughrim County Wicklow. This project is supported by Hometown Architect as part of the @irisharchitecturefoundation ’s nationwide Reimagine placemaking programme.
This existing dormer bungalow in Dublin 4 has been enlarged sequentially over time.
Our project clarifies the external appearance of the house whilst also reconfiguring the internal living spaces.
The house is reimagined as two shifting volumes, one public, one private. The overbearing dormer roof has been relieved by reconfiguring the existing roof structures from hipped to pitched, presenting a gable fronted roof profile over a rationalised arcaded elevation.
On Saturday 22 July we’re doing a Sensory Walk with @kunstverein_aughrim , @aoife_and_@tealska supported by @coisceim.broadreach .
This walking workshop is an immersive experiment designed to experience Aughrim village through our senses. Through this work we want to connect to our quieter, slower senses; to collectively consider the experiences of people of different ages and sensory abilities.
We will experience what Aughrim feels like underfoot. How it is to steady ourselves while walking, touching walls, trees, railings. How it is to rely on the sounds of the park, the traffic, or passing conversations to direct us. We will follow our noses.

This project in Rathmines involves the extensive restoration of a protected mid 19th century villa and the addition of two new extensions. A recessive two-storey side extension contains ancillary rooms and to the rear a lightweight framed pavilion extends the main living space into the garden.
We’re looking forward to starting on site in autumn.
