Project Backround
Earlier Design
for Office Building on a Brownfield site at Church Street
Smithfield. A significant portion of the Ground Floor could not
accommodate foundations for
Superstructure. Site viability
was therefore dependant on the construction of a Truss Structure
spanning 50m across a portion of the Ground Floor and able to take
Floor Plate loads.
Project
Description
Conceived as
an Ultra Contemporary backdrop to St. Michans Church. Extensive use
of high spec. glazing was envisaged. Metal fins in
coloured stainless steel were proposed to the entrance at Church Street and were
carried around the perimetre to subdivide the Building mass into
seperate zones.
