The design of the new Spirituality Centre is
based on providing an uplifting and
inspirational internal environment, a retreat
and space for contemplation.
Winter
Given the unique landscape
setting of the site we have located the
new facility as a pavilion or folly within a
park. It is sited on a south facing slope to
Spring exploit the dramatic panoramic views over
the Botanic Gardens and the Dublin skyline.
The main glazed areas of the centre exploit
this view and orientation.

Design Concept:
Light Lantern:
Out of the darkness comes the light…. The symbol of the Holy Faith Congregation
is the light lantern that Margaret Alyward,
the founder of the order, used as a beacon
of hope during her imprisonment in
Grangegorman female penitentiary in
1860.

The Journey of the building
The building plan has been laid out to
provide a journey of discovery. The route
starts in the grounds of the convent and
the approach to the building is off-set
through the existing trees and path to the
west of the site. The building is removed
from the other Institutional buildings and is
set as a building folly in the landscape. The
The building tells external ramp directs visitors to the main

In addition the outer walls of the spirituality
centre are elevated above the ground and
cantilevered off recessed columns, thus
giving the impression that the building
floats above the green lawn. The plan
configuration is like an unfolding flower,
with the outer petals being elevated above
the ground and the central bud being
represented by the more vertical sacred
space.

The external walls are therefore clad in a
white reflective glass which will reflect the
trees, landscaping and buildings around it.
In general the windows are contained
between the overlapping cranked walls and
frame views and vistas of the external
environment.
