Location: Dundalk, Co. Louth
Completed: 2014
Value: Confidential

In the core of Dundalk’s retail district, Earl House had lay empty for some time. Constructed in the 1970's, It had deteriorated to a point where it was having a negative effect on the overall perception of the town centre. The concept of the original design emphasised verticality. The ground floor was set back and created a podium for tall concrete ribs to project from the front façade. The void between these ribs was filled with glazing for internal spaces. We sought to promote interaction between passers-by on Earl Street and the new commercial unit at ground floor level by fully glazing the lower façade. In this building each upper floor accommodates a different use. To express this on the façade we proposed the removal of the concrete ribs to show horizontality at each level. A projecting fenestration detail breaks up the zone of glazing whilst also making reference to the character of historical buildings already existing on Earl Street. Natural granite is used to clad the upper levels. The floors are connected by a recessed opening to the Northern side that expresses the vertical circulation. It is also used as the area where signage may be placed. We believe these works have given new life to the building and Earl Street.

Value: N/A

We were commissioned to design a new headquarters for pioneering software development firm Intact.

The concept for the layout was developed with an idea around transparency and encounters. Personnel are given a series of open collaborative spaces where ideas can be discussed and expanded. These areas are surrounded by private spaces like offices and meeting rooms located in distinguishable timber and glass pods which have a clear presence that further enforces the concept of transparency. These pods work to partition the overall office volume and enhance the series of beautiful timber trusses which repeat throughout the building.

Client: N/A
Location: Dundalk, Co. Louth
Completed: 2018
Value: N/A

A new addition to the Market Square in Dundalk. This project involved the demolition of a deteriorated commercial unit, which had layed vacant for over ten years. Its size and scale had, over time, become significantly smaller than surrounding buildings and was in a poor state of repair. The north elevation of Market Square had developed into a state of disarray, with buildings of dramatically different heights placed beside each other. We sought to regulate this issue, by taking formal cues from the streetscape around to generate an appropriate height for the unit. Continuing in a contemporary style, we used bold colours and fine materials to create a distinctive and sleek facade, which aims to enliven Market Square. We believe that this new statement building will encourage and promote further retail trade in our town centre.
