The ‘Folding Mine’ is a residential+wellness complex project designed to transfer Irish industrial archeology masterpieces into a retreat and mediation destination. The residential zones are designed to ensure the comfort and security of a village. There are ten studios, five 1b1b suits and two 2b2b luxury suits in total, organized on 2 continous stepped platforms slightly inclined, that overcome the uneven topography of 7m. The studio and 1b1b residentials are located on the lower platform and two houses on the upper one.

The choice of material is important to connect landscape and architecture. The heritage has a ‘heavy’ language of brick, on the contrary the new add-on buildings
need to balance the oppressive buttom feel. Wood framing was chosed as basic structure and light color plaster form the exterior facade. Lightwight material is
also one of the most vital factor we considered during the design, due to the proctection of heritage.
