| Project Name: | Civic Offices | | | | City: | Dublin 8 | | Country: | Ireland | | Architect: | Scott Tallon Walker | | Contractor: | Pierce Contracting Ltd | | Year: | 1994 | | Category: | Government And Public | | System: | Arcal 50, Arcal SL 124 | | | | Details: | This building faces the River Liffey and although containing 8,500 m2 of office accommodation, it does so without violating the scale of the existing riverfront architecture.
The Civic Offices create a powerful impression of space and light internally.
This was mainly achieved by using system ARCAL 50 sloping glazing in a newly built glass atrium, which has been placed between the existing towers and connected to the new atrium.
The atrium walls are clad in ARCAL Sightline 124, which was fixed back to a bowstring truss. |
