Irish studio dePaor Architects have inserted this oak grid-shell structure into the café area of Dublin Airport‘s Terminal 2, which opened late last year.
The undulating structure sits in the centre of the OAK bar and provides a canopy over the space.
It’s made from strips of veneered plywood that slot into one another.
Perforated wooden vaults frame the entrance into the café-bar.

Here’s a tiny bit of text from the architects:
Dublin Airport Landside bar.OAK
The landside bar and cafe in the new terminal at Dublin airport is a n 84mm oak veneered plywood deformed grid shell as a baldacchino over bar and server.
It stands on three stainless steel shoes on the limestone terrace and suspend a murano glass at the limestone stone bar.
The snug is excavated as a series of parallel vaults with service strips between.
These oak veneered vaults are slot perforated to achieve a smoke reservoir.

This is a really nice interior design. The natural wood really makes the space feel warm and inviting. Great project.
and to dull down sound right?
This is a beautiful and enigmatic project whose spatial inventiveness deserves better photographs.
I agree, the sections are very interesting spatially but the photos seem to focus on hazy details and not the overall feeling of the space. The 4th photo showing the vaulting is more along the lines of what I'm asking for.
nice work Tom
Looks great, but more then a year ago Studio JVM (Amsterdam) realized a
similar looking library in an amazing villa in Vals!
