Project Overview
This project combines the appeal of a historic home with a contemporary extension, new amenities and garden. We worked closely with the Architect to create an informal, family kitchen, dining and living area enhanced by a vast expanse of glass allowing maximum light to travel in through the space. We used Sky-Frame 2, a double-glazed frameless sliding window system to create a ‘wall’ of glass with minimal sight-lines, measuring 13 metres in width and 2.65 metres in height with 4 sliding panels creating a smooth transition between the interior living space and the garden courtyard area. The original home is one of the most important period properties in East Belfast and this extension onto the existing house was part of a full renovation of the property to create a family living space and guest accommodation.

Based on the needs of the facility we elected to use our Quantum speed gate which is the fastest open and close speed gate on the market capable of facilitating up to 55 persons passing per minute. This makes it the ideal solution for sites with high visitor flow rate.
Kinsale Community Hospital
For this healthcare project, Todd Architects designed an extension to an existing facility, Kinsale Community Hospital, to include internal alteration and refurbishment works, as part of the HSE Cork Community Hospital Bundle. The project was designed to provide a ‘Step Down’ facility to move patients from the main hospital into a community facility closer to home to continue their care.

The €3.7million project involved the refurbishment of the historical James O’Neill building in Church Square, originally an Old Mill, which dates back to the late 19th Century. The library has been carefully and beautifully designed to sit inside the original shell of the Old Mill building, creating a modern, bright space whilst still maintaining the original charm of the Stone building.
