Seamus Heaney HomePlace Library

WorkSpace, a division of McLaughlin & Harvey, acted as the main contractor to refurbish the library within the Seamus Heaney visitor centre. The design made great use of the space so that visitors can browse through the book collection, take their time to sit down and read or write at one of the individual desks or, for the first time, access an impressive digital archive of visual and audio recordings.

The wow feature of the interior fit-out is the bespoke joinery bookcases with brass inlays manufactured in house by WorkSpace and a clever use of lighting within the library creates a warm atmosphere for visitors to read and spend time in.

In 2022, our Seamus Heaney Homeplace Library project was shortlisted for Best Interior Design of the Year at the Belfast Telegraph Property Awards.
