Case Study: Carlow County Council revitalizes Carlow Exchange with Graphisoft Archicad

Carlow County Council brings a derelict market back to life with Graphisoft, enabling 15 sectional views in BIMx

Carlow County Council faced the challenge of regenerating a historic, derelict potato market in Ireland into a vibrant, flexible community space. Their goal was to create a covered outdoor venue suitable for events while carefully integrating modern design with historic structures. Graphisoft's Archicad software was selected as the key tool for this redevelopment project.

The solution centered on using Archicad, Twinmotion, and BIMx to enable real-time visualization, effective collaboration, and early clash detection. Graphisoft’s tools allowed the team to import structural models for coordination, present lighting options accurately to the public, and make fast design decisions. This process saved time, avoided costly on-site mistakes, and delivered a striking new venue that met modern needs while honoring the site's history, providing Carlow with a pivotal civic space for community gatherings.
