The Coop at Dromoland

Completed in 2025

The Brief

A sensitive conversion of the original castle pigeon coop at Dromoland, later used as storage and a temporary shop, into a wellness space for yoga, sound baths, Pilates, and movement-based exercise.

The Challenge

The building had strong character but lacked the clarity, atmosphere, and functionality needed for a studio environment. The aim was to create a calm and adaptable space while preserving the integrity of the original structure.

The Approach

The original brickwork was retained as a defining feature of the interior, while the layout was adapted to support a range of wellness practices. A bathroom and locker room area were also introduced to make the space more practical and complete for everyday use.

The Outcome

The result is a serene and distinctive wellness studio that gives renewed purpose to a historic outbuilding, combining original character with a quieter, more restorative way of inhabiting the space.
