Mortuary Chapel – Dublin Airport
SECTOR: community
LOCATION: Dublin Airport
YEAR: 2015
SIZE: 70 sqm
This highly sensitive and emotional space needed a complete re-design to pay respect to the affected relatives and friends, and indeed the deceasedthemselves. The design achieved ‘Highly Commended’ in the 2015 IDI Awards in the category ‘Commercial Interiors’ and was the Winner at the Interior Design & Fit-out Awards at Architecture Expo 2016 as ‘Best Fit-Out Project under € 1 million’
"... a location for quiet reflection and thought - ... this has been achieved so successfully in Andreas’ work."

CLIENT FEEDBACK
The challenge facing this design was how to address the restrictions posed by an old building that was not designed as a space for receiving human remains, with the constraints of a limited budget, yet at the same time ensuring that the final outcome was both sympathetic to its purpose yet non-denominational in appearance, a space that would reflect the best of all beliefs, while also being a location for quiet reflection and thought – and this has been achieved so successfully in Andreas’ work.
