Refurbishment of Existing Gym and Changing Facilities at PWC Headquarters on Spencer Dock.

The PWC Headquarters on Spencer Dock is one of the largest corporate office developments in Dublin City. Plus Architecture were engaged to refurbish the Gym which is located on the top floor and is operational 24/7 for all employees. Working within the constraints of the existing structure, our aim was to create a sense of drama through lighting and colour. The existing changing facilities had blocked out all windows – we re-introduced natural light whilst maintaining privacy to enhance the sense of space within the very compact footprint available.

The project at nos. 3 to 8 Hume Street was the ref

The project at nos. 3 to 8 Hume Street was the refurbishment and extension of the former Dublin Skin Cancer and Urinary Hospital. The stablisation, repair, consolidation and development to the rear was a project with a 10 year site duration of works. The existing buildings were in a significant state of dilapidation following years of neglect. The redevelopment delivers a mixed use building, containing office, restaurant and cultural space.

In 1912, the Dublin Skin Cancer and Urinary Hospital initially occupied No.3 Hume Street and by 1965 the Hospital had extended to include all 6 buildings. The hospital was in operation at this location until its closure in 2006, at which time the buildings sat vacant and neglected.

The existing buildings were in a significant state of dilapidation following years of neglect. In 2010 / 2011 the lead valleys and gutters had been removed by scavengers resulting in extensive water ingress within the buildings, and a section of the internal structural walls subsequently collapsed due to on-going water ingress and timber decay within the buildings. This collapsed section unlocked the architectural footprint of the buildings allowing for connection to the extension and development to the rear.

We recently received planning permission for a new large-scale office development located on Adelaide Road, Dublin 2 overlooking the Grand Canal.
Detailed design is now complete and we will hopefully begin construction very soon!

The site at 27-29 Pembroke Street sits in an archi

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.

We recently received full planning permission from

We recently received full planning permission from Kildare County Council for an older person's housing development in Athy, Co. Kildare.
The scheme concept involves a courtyard plan arrangement to create a secure central garden complemented by an activated streetscape at ground floor on all sides. The apartment scheme is articulated through a series of pitched roofs to break up the massing and to help create a sense of identity around individual dwellings.
Detailed design underway and we hope to be on site in the new year
