The Client
Located in Dublin’s SOBO district, directly opposite our 1 Windmill Lane (1WML) contract, 1SJRQ is a new 6-storey office building with retail at ground level.
The building has an overall floor space of 15,000 m² and is constructed to a LEED platinum standard.
The Project
Highlights Of The Project
Walls to Workstations supplied and installed a first of its kind in Europe curved fire-rated and non-fire-rated atrium glazing in 1SJRQ.
The prestigious building at 1-6 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, developed by Hibernia REIT, occupies a landmark site that merges old and new architecture. The design combines a restored Dublin tramway entrance and two industrial-era buildings with a new six-storey grade A office complex.
More details about this project:
The sense of openness and lightness of the structure at 1SJRQ takes maximum advantage of the magnificent river views framed by the retained façade of the 19th-century tramway with its 14m-high arched brickwork entrance.
The retention of the brickwork façade required the new building to be stepped back from the quay, which led the design team at Henry J Lyons to devise an atrium with minimal visual barriers, allowing a connection between the internal spaces and the river flowing in front of the building.
Walls to Workstations participated in this ambitious project creating a U-shaped run of atrium glazing fire-rated and unbroken by structural posts.
Curved atrium main components:
- E30 Fire-Rated Element
- Technishield 50 trackwork
- Vetrotech Contraflam Structure Lite EW30 glass (20mm straight glass)
- Vetrotech Contraflam Structure Lite Contour E30 glass (20mm curved glass).
Small atrium components:
- Techishield 65 Trackwork
- Vetrotech Contraflam Structure EI30 Statip Silence glass (rating of 45dB – 30mm glass-)
- Non-fire-rated Optima’s 117 single-glazed trackwork
- 12.8 Acoustic Laminate glass.
Through effective collaboration with Henry J Lyons, Vetrotech, and Optima, Walls to Workstations delivered a visually appealing outcome for the client with the highest precision and elegance, meeting the stringent fire safety requirements.
