PROJECT PROFILE: Shackleton Museum
The design of the Ernest Shackleton Museum is an extension of the protected structure that was Athy Town Hall.
Considered a landmark building in the heart of the town, our team needed to ensure it was extended sensitively.

The sculptural form of the 'shard' is reminiscent of an iceberg and the overall breakup of the glazing and cladding is based on the triangulated fractal geometry found in nature.
