The building has been designed considering of the sensitivities of the area and has a nautical concept. The envelope of the building mirrors aspects of the architecturally designed Auction Hall on the outside if the bay and will create a symmetry and connection at either side of the town which anticipates public realm improvement between the two as part of the Local Area Plans and Regeneration Plans for Killybegs.
The buildings primary function is to service the SCH and other harbour operational needs. Consideration has being given to the wider harbour stakeholders groups who may have a need to access and use the facility in the future. Careful consideration was given to ensure delivery of a high quality building and Amenities area befitting Ireland’s premier fishing port. The site layout takes into account possible future development of a seafront promenade along Shore Road providing a pedestrian path through the site between the car park and the Shore Road
