Project: Our Lady's Grove, Primary School
Location: Goatstown, Dublin 14
Details:

A new, two-storey, 16 classroom primary school due for completion in 2010. The design was developed in close consultation with the client, responding to the school’s ethos and traditions. The building design integrates the highest standards of health, safety, accessibility and sustainability requirements for public buildings and children’s spaces, while meeting the demands of the brief.

 

Project: Volkswagen & Audi Showroom
Location: Stillorgan Industrial Park, Dublin
Details: The contemporary showroom and HQ for Foster Motor Co was created by the alteration and extension of a 1970’s warehouse. The challenge of the design required the incorporation of architectural brand elements and the client’s operational brief within the existing building. Steel structure, glazed curtain walling and flat metal cladding reflect the modern image of Volkswagen and Audi, while internal spaces allow optimum vehicle display in a bright, welcoming environment. This project was followed by the construction of new workshop facilities for the same company.
Project: Cloverhill Courthouse and Prison Complex
Location: Dublin
Details: Scott+MacNeill was appointed by Sisk as architects for the successful Design and Build competition for this major building complex. The multiple buildings on site include a courthouse, visitors centre, admissions unit, residential accommodation and maintenance, training, recreation and administration facilities. Cloverhill is one of a series of security projects carried out over 25 years for the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform / Irish prison Service. A recent project involves the provision of security consultancy for the proposed Thornton Hall prison complex.
Project: Shelton Abbey
Location: Wicklow
Details:

Shelton Abbey is an early 19th century building, clad in finely detailed granite. The Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform commissioned Scott+MacNeill to carry out significant building renovations including conservation work to the stone facing and historic interiors, an upgrade of the electrical and fire prevention services and associated Health+Safety management of the building.

 

Project: Gowan House
Location: Dublin
Details: Gowan House is the headquarters and distribution centre of the Gowan Group.  Scott+MacNeill provided a comprehensive redevelopment including new reception, extended and refurbished office accommodation and additional warehouse facilities. The client occupied the building during construction and required minimum disruption to business. A carefully planned schedule was implemented, taking health, safety and commercial issues into account. Sections of the building were vacated on a phased basis to ensure separation between construction and occupied areas, while access and fire escape plans were put in place for each phase.

Project: Dublin Airport
Location: Dublin
Details:

Aer Rianta (DAA) appointed Scott+MacNeill to carry out a series of projects at Dublin Airport, including a major extension of the arrivals hall, the provision of a 7 storey passenger and goods lifts and new warehouse buildings for DHL and Servisair.

 

 

Project: Fishantics
Location: Dun Laoghaire, Dublin
Details:
