Bord na Móna

Client Bord na Móna
Location Newbridge, Co. Kildare
Size c. 3,300sq.m
Status Planning

A new corporate HQ for Bord na Móna in Newbridge, Co. Kildare designed to provide a consolidated home for the business as it pivots to become a renewable energy provider.

The building has been designed as an exemplar low-energy building including a mixed-mode natural ventilation system, integrated PV generation at roof level and a CLT hybrid primary structure. Detailed daylight, glare and CFD modelling were carried out to ensure a high quality working environment.

As a business, Bord na Móna are striving to create a benchmark agile workplace for staff, including wellness rooms, sensory room, gym, prayer room, mothering room and flexible team working areas.

The building is designed around a climatic response to the site context - a sloping roof joins all the workspaces together, and is angled towards the sun for ideal solar electricity generation. As the building slopes up to meet Main Street to present a strong local landmark within the streetscape, we have stepped back the topmost level to create a roof terrace. This distinctive roof profile is visible throughout the upper levels of the building, joined as they are, by a running stair designed to create maximum communication and interaction between various teams and staff members.

We have recently completed a refurbishment and mod We have recently completed a refurbishment and modernisation of a Protected Structure in Dublin city centre. 
No. 5 Dame lane was constructed circa 1906 to designs by Bachelor & Hicks Architects. The 4-storey over basement building was constructed as an extension to the earlier Hely Printworks Building and is included in the Record of Protected Structures on account of the early use of the Hennebique reinforced concrete construction system. Plus Architecture were engaged to refurbish the building to current office standards including the insertion of an entirely new stair, lift and toilet core.
