Background

Antrim GAA is a Gaelic Football Club with a number of playing sites across Antrim in Northern Ireland. The proposal is sited parallel to our previous project for Antrim GAA on the same site for a changing pavilion, providing 4no. new changing rooms, ref changing and disabled facilities and renovate the existing pitches to enable the site to be operational.

Approach

The new ancillary building will provide a multi-use gym, physiotherapy & fitness suite and is the latest addition to the site as part of the Client’s overall vision to create a GAA Centre of Participation ‘COP’ at their Dunsilly site.

The design uses a simple portal frame construction to enable a quick and easy construction process that meets the needs of the club and its members. The club colours are prominent throughout the facility, from the overhead steelwork to the doors and even the sporting equipment.

The result reflects how a simple building typology can be enhanced by careful consideration of how the elements within are composed and arranged.
