Rathfarnam Shelter

8 meter picnic table shelter and bike parking, delivered to South Dublin County Council as part of the Rosemount District Improvement Scheme.

The project utilised sections from Bonus B39 blades sourced from Barnesmore Wind Farm, together with one LM13 blade section. Maximum chord sections were repurposed as structural uprights, mid-blade segments formed the polycarbonate roof framing, and blade tip sections were crafted into the bench and table legs. This material-led design approach maximised value recovery from each blade component while delivering a cohesive architectural form. The project was supported by the Department of the Environment’s Circular Economy Innovation Grant.
