Key issues:

Achieving the performance requirements of ‘TGD-E Sound’ and suitable internal noise ambient noise levels were primary considerations in the acoustic design on this project. This required the acoustic design of high-performance partition systems between studios, reverberation control of common areas and façade acoustic design.

Project Description:

The development involved the change of use of a disused office block into co-living accommodation and the construction of an additional 3 setback floors as part of the overall shared accommodation.  The project integrates green practices, including material reuse, energy efficiency, and a minimal carbon footprint.   The architectural approach focused on clever layouts and technology-driven precision, creating 110 thoughtfully designed studio apartments complemented by communal spaces that foster municipal engagement. Rathmines House sets a benchmark for urban regeneration, showcasing how adaptive reuse can address housing shortages while investing in and celebrating community identity, promoting sustainable living, and meeting the highest standards of design excellence.
