ABOUT THE PROJECT

This project explores the effects of the housing crisis and the potential in the derelict and vacant buildings in Limerick, Ireland.

This project aims to put a light on those buildings and highlight their potential what it could mean to those in a desperate need of a safe home. Learn more
