The Library Fit-Out and redevelopment of Skerries Library marks an important upgrade to a key community facility, combining a restored historic building with a modern extension to support contemporary library use.
Designed to function as a flexible civic space, the library now accommodates reading areas, study zones, children’s spaces, and multi-purpose rooms, reflecting the evolving role of libraries across Ireland.
Library Fit-Out Scope: Shelving & Loose Furniture
Bushell Interiors was responsible for the supply and installation of all library shelving systems and loose furniture, delivering a complete fit-out solution tailored to a high-traffic public environment.
Library Shelving Systems
The library shelving was designed to balance capacity, accessibility, and long-term flexibility.
- Efficient layouts to maximise storage without compromising circulation
- Clear sightlines to support navigation and supervision
- Adaptable configurations to accommodate changing collections
- A clean, durable finish suited to daily public use
The shelving integrates seamlessly across both the original building and the new extension, creating a cohesive and functional interior.
Loose Furniture for Diverse Library Use
A wide range of loose furniture was specified to support different user needs throughout the space.
- Comfortable lounge seating for informal reading areas
- Study desks and ergonomic seating for focused work
- Tables for collaboration and group activities
- Flexible furniture solutions for events and community use
All furniture was selected with durability, comfort, and ease of maintenance in mind, ensuring long-term performance in a busy library setting.
