Project
Odyssey, The Landmark Millennium Project for Northern Ireland.
£60million capital cost construction project containing a 10,000 seat indoor Arena; W5, a 120,000 ft² interactive science discovery centre; a 380 seat large format Imax theatre; a 3,500 seat, 12 screen multiplex cinema and
50,000 ft² of commercial and retail space.
Project
Refurbishment of Seven Towers Leisure Centre, Ballymena
Phase 1 comprised extension and alterations to the existing leisure centre project to provide new reception and café facilities along with extensive refurbishment of the existing changing facilities. All work was carefully
designed and phased to ensure continuous operation of the Leisure Centre during construction.
Project
Hill House, Castlewellan
The site is located on Slievehanny, one of the foothills of Slieve Croob,looking towards the Mournes. The site was occupied by a derelict 2 room stone dwelling and small outhouse at 90º to the main house.
In additional to the spatial needs of the brief for a modern flexible home,our client required that the house should ‘blend into the countryside’, minimising its physical impact on the environment and immediate
surroundings, be as sustainable as possible and enhancement the physical environment. Designing a modest family home and supplementing it by adding flexible accommodation in a series of outbuildings that reference traditional Irish farm buildings and using the
mature trees and the natural landscape achieved this.
Hill House has been shortlisted as a finalist in the 2007-2008 RTPI NI/RSPB NI Sustainability Planning Awards which were announced on 7th December 2007.
Project
Office Development at Castle Street, Antrim
Full Architectural Service JCT 98 Standard Form of Contract. 3 Storey,8000sq.ft office building constructed within the confines of an existing retaining wall. The introduction of a lightwell and rooflight allowed the fully enclosed basement to be transformed into bright well lit office space.
Project
Renovation of the Bureau Bar, Jordanstown
The structure to the ground floor has been rationalised and the majority of the walls enclosing the once dark public house have been removed to create a lively, bright modern space with a open relationship to the streetscape.
Height has been introduced to the spaces with the removal of some of the upper floors to create contrasting atmospheres throughout the bar.Dark timber set against white Italian tiles, large full height mirrors and leather
sofas complete this understated European design.
