Construction and fit-out of a three storey anchor unit in the heart of Athlone which involved demolition works and the incorporation of existing retail units into the overall development. Intelligent building methods and solutions were employed in order to deliver the intricate development. The high quality finished retail centre transformed the existing and adjacent buildings into a popular shopping centre.
The most striking feature of this project is the central open core over the mall of the centre which uses the curtain walling and rooflight to throw lots of natural light onto the main entrance and escalators.
