MAC Belfast - Hackett Hall McKnight
Designed by Irish architects Hackett Hall McKnight (now Hall McKnight), the Metropolitan Arts Centre is wedged between two existing buildings on a hemmed-in corner plot that sits beside the city cathedral.
A long and narrow atrium divides the building into two halves and is surrounded by walls of exposed concrete and brickwork.
Skylights bring natural light down into the seven-storey space, where balconies accommodate cafe and bar areas. An auditorium is located on either side of the foyer, while dance studios and exhibition galleries fill the floors above and below.
