O'Leary Sludds Architects - Enterprise Centre Upgrade, Wexford

Enterprise Centre Upgrade, Wexford

Enhancing the visual impact of the main entrance to the enterprise centre with a cantilevered zinc canopy over the main entrance with a second lower canopy, located adjacent to the main canopy to form a bicycle shelter, was our main objective for the centre.

The juxtaposition of the overlapping canopies and zinc wall is what makes the design a success and creates the visual impact required to fulfil our client’s brief.

As part of a number of other interior design projects throughout the centre we designed an incubator co-working office space, to provide start-up firms and small businesses critical resources to develop and grow.

To compliment the works to the main entrance smaller canopies were designed for the secondary entrances to the centre to give continuity to the overall design approach, as well as the overall external colour scheme revised to compliment the new zinc finish.
