CENTRAL DUBLIN RENOVATION
DELIVERS LIGHT-FILLED OFFICE SPACE
SCOTCH HOUSE
Careful coordination and collaboration has transformed a brick and
concrete 1970s office block in the heart of Dublin into a bright and
light-filled space fit for modern businesses.
Owner MF Properties, part of Irish developer Castlepark, approached
Dublin-based architectural practice Lafferty in 2013 with a brief to
completely refurbish and extend the property to create premium
office accommodation available to let.
This was the first time a private sector client had approached Lafferty
with a clear BIM aspiration for the project. The client had already
procured a point cloud survey of the existing property and prepared
an IFC 3D model of the building.
Following a protracted planning and appeals process, planning
permission was granted in 2016 and MF Properties gave Lafferty the
go-ahead in March 2017. The building is expected to be completed
in early 2019.
