Iveagh Theatre

Iveagh Theatre reimagines the historic Iveagh Markets in Dublin as a theatre and exhibition space, bringing new life to an existing building while keeping its character and history at the centre of the design. The project explores how theatre can become more immersive through a theatre in the round, bringing the audience closer to the performance and allowing the space to adapt to different events. Alongside the theatre, the exhibition space provides a setting for immersive installations and experiences. The design developed through sketches, collages, models and visual experiments, allowing me to explore atmosphere, form, materials and how people would move through and experience the space. I approached the existing building as an opportunity to create something new while maintaining a connection to its past.
