Peter Mark, South William Street

The new landmark facility for Peter Mark designed by Douglas Wallace  incorporates the original Victorian three storey over basement bank building which has been modified and extended to the full footprint of the landlocked site to provide a new modern hair salon and training facility for the client. The project belatedly received planning for an additional third floor. This additional floor was accommodated by increasing the capacity of the steel structure and the use of light weight construction. Townlink Construction Ltd. worked to complete the final stage of the project which was re-tendered after the original contractor ceased trading.

Mary Street / Jervis Street Development

Surrounded by the contiguous piling for the Jervis Street Shopping Centre, this office and retail development was erected on a raft foundation with 100% site coverage resulting in the usual inner city construction problems.  Provision was made in the design for a further storey and for escalators to the basement and first floor.  The building has a composite brick and pre-cast concrete façade that required close tolerance and careful site monitoring.

Medical Centre, Donaghmede

This unique three storey building is designed with the end user in mind. The contemporary design of the façade reflects the modern approach to medicine and provides abundant natural light to the open internal spaces. The simple concrete column and flat slab structural solution allows easy interface with the sophisticated façade cladding and enables economical servicing of the building, while the lightweight steel roof provides cost effective construction.

Eurospar Killiney Shopping Centre

Designed by Kieran Lally Architects to the requirements of the Musgrave Group we project managed this total refurbishment and extension. Without the need for this retail unit to close we demolished the rear of the Eurospar unit and added a two-storey extension. We also extended the retail area into the two adjoining units and supervised the entire fit out.

Histon House, Cornelscourt

Using the planning application drawings prepared by Joseph Doyle Architects on the site of an existing dwelling we project managed this development to the letting stage. This is a two and three storey development on a sloping site with standard strip foundations and concrete floors. The structure is stepped to suit the slope of the site for practical and aesthetic purposes and the pitched roof is tailored to accommodate office space. This development now currently houses the offices of The McKenna Pearce Practice.
