The new proposal for the St Conleth's Reformatory School in Daingean blends seamlessly with the existing realm, creating outdoor courtyards that provide a transitional space. The complex is divided into four main zones. There is a public space along the wall, and further down towards the centre of the site is a small courtyard with private guest rooms.
The main program of this retreat is the tea ritual. I had the opportunity to talk to enthusiastic locals about revitalizing the town as a tourist destination. The essence of tea lies in its ability to create a serene and natural atmosphere for enjoying it, whether it is a small intimate gathering or a large family celebration. Visitors can unwind and appreciate the tranquillity of nature by spending time at this retreat.
