Ski Club of Ireland, Clubhouse

Situated on the Dublin/Wicklow border on the Enniskerry Road, the Ski Club of Ireland a.k.a. the National Snow Sports Centre has been bringing the sports of skiing and snowboarding to the Irish public for over 50 years.

In addition to its unrivalled skiing facility the Ski Club members sought to further improve their offering to the membership and the public with the provision of warm and welcoming multipurpose space with a view of the slope-based activities.

Constructed on sloping ground, the building’s main area is elevated to blend seamlessly with the levels of the existing office and ski dispense area. With windows wrapping the entire of the slope side elevations the views of the slope and surrounding landscape are given precedence.

• This was an entirely new build however generations of buried service ducts, pipes and cables as well as the buildings location in the path of the mountain’s natural drainage course provided a challenge
• Lissadell’s previous knowledge of the site helped to provide lasting solutions to these issues which have been a perennial challenge for the club
