A substantial redevelopment of a 1960s office block to create a global headquarters for the client.

30 Pembroke Road, Dublin 4

MCA Architects worked in conjunction with Pickard Chilton on this project for the substantial redevelopment of a late 1960's office block to create a world headquarters for Eaton Corporation PLC in Dublin's city centre.

The existing building is divided into two blocks - three and five storeys over basement car park level. The scope included major structural modifications both internally and to the external envelope. The interior of the building was completely refurbished with a high end specification throughout, including boardroom facilities, to reflect the prestigious nature of the project.

Externally the existing brickwork façade and glazing was removed and reconfigured to provide a more context appropriate response to the sensitive architecture of the neighbourhood, whilst also reflecting the corporate nature of its intended use. Elements include new stone cladding, vision glass and cast-glass block which mirror the dimensions of the brickwork to the adjacent buildings.
