Pembroke Street

Pembroke St

Client Private
Location Pembroke Street, Lower, Dublin 2
Size c.1,110sq.m
Status Under Construction

The site at 27-29 Pembroke Street sits in an architectural conservation area in central Dublin, between Fitzwilliam Square and Baggot Street, where the context is predominantly Georgian.

The brief was to take an existing three office-level building on site, a Georgian pastiche constructed c.30 years prior and add three additional levels above. The existing concrete framed structure was stripped back and a new façade applied, reinventing the rather ordinary visual appearance and upgrading the energy performance of the envelope.

The site transitions from a lower scale of three-storey retail buildings on the East, to a tall five-storey Georgian townhouse to the West.

The architectural challenge was to ensure this change in scale was managed in a sensitive manner. As such, the rooftop extensions were sculpted to enable new setback terraces for the office spaces and mitigate any sharp jump in scale.

Retail uses at ground, which continued in use during the construction phase, have been re-fenestrated to integrate their external appearance into the wider building upgrade.

The resultant building accommodates c.20,000sqft of office accommodation over 6 levels and is due for completion in Q2 2021.

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.
