In the Heart of the Capital.

Office Building with excellent views.

Burlington Road is in the historical center of the Irish capital, which today is not only a good place to relax or live, but also a highly attractive location for offices. Accordingly, in a follow-up order to the Riverside 4 project GIG was commissioned to provide the façade for the extensive Burlington Road complex, which consists of two 7-storey blocks. This was because during the work on Riverside 4, the main contractor Bennet Construction came to greatly appreciate GIG’s professionalism regarding both realization and product quality.

A large construction site in confined space.

When building work is in progress all around, then space is at a premium and represents an issue that demands ingenious logistics. Just-in-time is essential within this context. 17,000 square metres of glass were processed, some in double layers: It is the glass elements that lend the idiosyncratic architecture its appearance with parts of the façade of Block II assuming radial form. They thereby follow a growing architectural trend towards softer forms, and moreover as size is also a major factor, the variety used in the building is unusually large. This again required a very great deal of planning.
