This was an upgrade project at a delivery hub in Athlone. The client faced a dual challenge of improving security measures while ensuring a wheelchair-friendly environment within their premises.
The design brief was to provide an anti-ligature handrail solution across the corridors of the centre as part of measures to reduce the risk of harm to vulnerable users. The handrails used have been specifically developed for use in mental health applications to aid in the prevention of self-harm and reduce the risk of ligatures.
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.
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.
The HSE acquired a vacant four-storey office building in Ballincollig, Cork in early 2023 and worked with Flynn Construction and Reddy Architecture & Urbanism to transform this into a new multi-million enhanced community care (ECC) centre that will treat older people and those with chronic disease closer to home.
The Carraig Centre is a beautifully restored communal building in the heart of Ballincollig, Cork used as a church, parish and community centre. The facility offers a multitude of rooms, studios and halls to local groups. Reddy Architecture & Urbanism were the main architects on the project, built into the shell of a former gun powder store.
The brief from the design team was to create a high-end, luxurious finish throughout and this followed through to every single detail and component specified on the project. We utilised the KCC grade 316 stainless steel modus range of operating ironmongery in a satin brass finish to offering functionality and durability for building users whilst still achieving a modern and stylish aesthetic.
We worked closely with the design team in Niall McLaughlin Architects to design and provide all internal steel glazed screens and doors offering impressive heights of 3 metres allowing for a massive expanse of glass and light in the building, both fire and non-fire rated with beautifully slim steel frames in a combination of EI30 and EI60 integrity and insulation fire protection.
We worked on the newly developed Acute Mental Health inpatient facility on the Sligo University Hospital Campus which boasts stunning views of the surrounding Sligo landscape. The envelope of the facility includes protruding box windows to allow patients and staff to enjoy the natural landscape throughout the building. The generously proportioned facility with its technologically advanced patient and staff facilities and accommodation centres around two enclosed courtyards, where patients and staff can enjoy privacy and tranquillity.
The Department of Psychiatry is a HSE-run facility in Tallaght University Hospital that provides around-the-clock scheduled and emergency services to a catchment of 262,000 people in Tallaght, Ballyfermot, Clondalkin and Crumlin. The department has a 52-bed inpatient facility as well as several mental health centres located in the community. During upgrade works to the hospital we were subcontracted by Elenfield Construction on this unique project to help develop a seclusion room within the psychiatric unit which is located on the ground floor of the Hospital.
Across the main areas of the hotel we utilised a bespoke bronze ironmongery from our Frank Allart range, adding interest with textured, knurled and leather details on pull handles and levers, depending on the style and aesthetic of each room.
