Our expertise /  by Stephen Moylan

One of the areas in which we specialise is Building Information Modelling (BIM). Our proficiency in BIM is excellent.

We promote the use of coordinated BIM processes on new projects when applicable, and have seen significant benefits within both completed projects and projects in progress when using this modelling.

GPO Witness History Interpretive Centre /  by Stephen Moylan

This is a culturally significant project in one of Dublin's most iconic buildings on the city’s main thoroughfare, O’Connell Street. It was opened to the public last year for the 2016 centenary of the 1916 Rising. 

The high profile project involved the construction of a new exhibition centre within the restored courtyard of the GPO. The public engagement with the iconic GPO has been hugely enhanced with the opening of the new interpretive centre. We are proud to have been involved in this significant project.

Richmond Building Close-up

We are delighted to have led a project to transform The Richmond Education and Event Centre on North Brunswick Street, Dublin for the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO). The 3,300 square metre building was once an abandoned hospital, but will now be a state-of-the-art educational and event centre specifically for the INMO’s 40,000 members. 

Richmond Building

This is particularly exciting because the building has always been an important landmark in Dublin city, as well as a protected structure. This wonderful re-imagination restores it to its former glory. We were part of a big team from client to craftsmen, utilising the very best in creative talent.

New Doyle Shipping Group building completed /  by Stephen Moylan

We recently completed a circa 1,300 square metre building for Doyle Shipping Group (DSG) in Dublin Port.  This project represents an adaptive re-use of an existing 1970s concrete-frame five-storey office building.  The robust design successfully reflects the prominence of this free-standing building while adding a contemporary addition to a fast-developing part of Dublin city.

The brief was to upgrade the existing structure to facilitate office and quayside staff for DSG Dublin Port operations. The works included a full building fabric strip-out, a full mechanical and electrical services upgrade, an internal office fit-out with associated canteen facilities and a performance-led building facade upgrade.

The strongly expressed aluminium shading fins to the southern elevation provide visual articulation to the south facade and solar protection within the building.

We are nearly ready for handover of the project which will transform the once abandoned Hospital building to a state of the art education and event centre for the INMO’s forty thousand members. The building is an important landmark and a protected structure and has been wonderfully restored and reimagined.
