“It was very important to us in embarking on this project that we would end up with not just a landmark building but also one which would be practical
in terms of its functionality and design (including interior fitout design) and built to the highest standards. All of this was achieved to everyone’s
satisfaction within a very tight timeframe and, most importantly within budget”

8. PricewaterhouseCoopers Headquarters Commercial Offices
Value £79 Million
Client Spencer Dock Development Company
Area 47,500m2
Our brief from Clients, Treasury Holdings, was for the design of a
signature headquarters building to house leading accountancy firm,
PricewaterhouseCoopers and to include additional accommodation
suitable for sub-letting for single or multiple tenancies, the balance
being eventually occupied by Fortis Bank.
The building is planned on a north south axis, comprising a seven
storey north block and an eight storey south block. The north
block is designed in a u-shape, facing west around a landscaped
courtyard, while the south block is sub divided internally by a full
height landscaped atrium on an east west axis. Both Blocks are
connected by glazed link bridges at upper levels.
The plan form composition permits maximum natural daylight to all
office areas while the main atrium, with its stepped floor plates to
the upper levels and glazed planar end walls, all combine to create
a lively transparency within the building. The terracotta coloured
horizontal brise soleil to the PricewaterhouseCoopers facades and
the white suspended brise soleil to the Fortis Bank facades combine
to form a distinctive yet unified interface and corporate identity to
both building occupants. The core towers with their sloped roofs
provide further distinctive identity to the building.

Client A&L Goodbody Solicitors
Area 11,000m2
The A&L Goodbody Solicitors building is a purpose built
headquarters. The façade to the river was originally designed to be
part of a continuous and connected street façade, resulting in two
granite clad staircase cores flanking the shaded south façade, give
the building a clear visual separation from its neighbours.
At Ground and Fifth Floor the glass is set back to create a loggia
and roof top terrace, overlooking the river. Internally, ground floor
meeting rooms, conference facilities and dining facilities for both
visitors and staff, overlook a central atrium garden. Mature bamboos
grow towards the pyramidal skylight with its delicate cable structure,
6 stories above.
A series of commissioned works of art are exhibited to atrium
circulation routes at each level, giving a unique vibrancy to the heart
of the building, enjoyed by all who work there.

12. Citi Commercial Offices
Client Citi
Area 34,744m2
This headquarters office building was designed for Citi to
accommodate the expanding front office and global support
operations of the company. The design aim was to create a bright
modern working environment, achieved by arranging the floor plates
around two full-height, internal landscaped atria thereby maximising
natural daylight to all areas.
The design of the atria spaces forms a major internal focal point
within the building. The main entrance and reception to the building
are located through the main atrium with both atria linked horizontally
at ground floor level and both containing vertical circulation via lifts
and stairs. The sense of movement and transparency within the
space is achieved by glazed-clad lift shafts, open staircases and
interconnecting bridges at each floor level.
The main entrance is defined externally by a splayed full height
planar glazed wall to the main atrium which creates a major external
civic space.

13. Citi Innovation Lab Commercial Offices
Client Citi
Area 750m2
Citi required a fitout of the an existing ground floor office space to
house a newly launched department within the Citi group called the
‘Citi Innovation Lab’. The public face of this department is vital to
its function and therefore the fitout required attention to detail and
efficient implementation of the global design strategy for the branch.
The project involved the implementation and launch of the new ‘Citi
Innovation Lab’ into the existing Dublin Citi Head Office. This required
a refurbishment of 750 m2 of existing office space and service core to
contemporary standards and to fall within the global branding concept
design, as set out by the client.
Scott Tallon Walker Architects 13

14. Stockyard Office Development Commercial Offices
Client Crosbie Property
Area 3,500m2
The plan was based on a simple design concept of a main circulation
area running across the building in an east west direction from one
stair core to the other. If modular offices are to be incorporated then
they will run along the northern and southern facades with open
plan in the middle of the floor plates. On the fourth and fifth floors
the circulation route becomes smaller as does the office space
provided with the omission of floor space to the rear (north) of the
building. The sixth floor is further reduced as a result of the set back
at this level. Vertical circulation is provided via two staircores, one
on each gable wall.
The north elevation is stepped by means of a terrace at fourth floor
level. This reduces massing toward the residential units on Abercorn
Road and establishes a contextual empathy with the two storey
houses. The curved outline of fifth and sixth floor office space partly
cantilevers over the fourth floor terrace.

15. Webworks Innovation Centre Commercial Offices
Client Howard Holding Plc
Area 5,000m2
This 5,000 square meter regional Innovation Centre provides small
starter unit offices, sharing reception, waiting, cafe and meeting
rooms. The four/five storey over basement building is entered off
Eglinton Street by forming an opening, with views to the atrium, in
the existing limestone wall which is retained along with other historic
features such as railings and gates.
The atrium is the heart and focal point for all the circulation routes
within the new Webworks building, connecting all levels with open
access accommodation stairs and maximising the natural light.
The open plan areas are broken up and are arranged to allow the
circulation routes around the atrium to enjoy views to the outside.
Attractive highly visible breakout spaces are provided at each level,
with views over the atrium.

Value £43Million
Client McCann FitzGerald Solicitors
Area 11,711m2
McCann FitzGerald Solicitors have a commitment to providing the
highest quality legal services both in Ireland and abroad. Scott
Tallon Walker Architects were chosen, following a limited design
competition, to create a new Headquarters Office building, providing
the best possible working environment capable of responding
to the immediate and future needs of a dynamic corporate legal
practice.
The highly glazed twin-wall façade allows maximum natural light into
the generous work areas. This ‘smart –skin’ responds automatically
to changes in imposed thermal loads providing thermal protection
and solar control, helping the building cope with Ireland’s ever
changing weather and light conditions. This façade automation,
together with the building’s sophisticated mechanical systems,
reduces raw energy demand and creates a consistently comfortable
and regulated working environment ensuring that the building is a
show case for sustainable design in Ireland.

The client is a statutory government body operating and maintaining
the most technologically advanced Aids to Navigation around the
coastline. A conscious decision was made at an early stage to design
a landmark modern structure, reflecting the ethos of the client, and
also to provide a counterpoint to the various historic structures
nearby, themselves prominent landmark buildings.
The enclosing façade is a sophisticated glazed twin-wall system,
maximising natural light, panoramic views both out from, and into, the
building and yet providing sustainable environmental control over the
internal office space. A distinctive central lantern provides abundant
natural light into the building’s core and the photovoltaic panels that
skirt the recessed second floor level, nod politely, to the highly evolved
functional navigational aids that the client is responsible for.

The architectural concept for the Department of the Environment
is a simple one, a sustainable building for the twenty first century
using two curved and sliding interlocked building forms to create
a sheltering and protective image while cutting into the hillside to
integrate with its gently sloping green field site.
The building uses a wood chip boiler as primary heat source, is
naturally ventilated uses solar water heaters for domestic hot water,
has a green sedum roof, green permeable car parking, uses grey
water to minimise water consumption and has an exposed eco-cem
concrete slab acting as a heat sink which is cooled at night with
automatic opening high level hopper windows.

22. Fingal Civic Offices Commercial Offices
Value £36 Million
Client Fingal County Council
Area 16,377m2
The scheme consists of four separate four storey office blocks
organised about a central glazed pedestrian spine. Major vertical
circulation is located in the atrium and serves a system of bridges
linking the office blocks. The central spine unites the buildings into
one readily identifiable development and also provides a clearly
defined circulation route across the site. The first office block is
curved on plan while the remaining three are rectilinear in form. The
first blocks provide accommodation for Fingal County Council. The
remaining two blocks are speculative office units. The buildings
are clad with buff coloured terracotta cladding and grey aluminium
curtain walling system. Cedar brise-soleil soften the elevations on
the southeast and southwest facades. The building is energy efficient
using passive and active environmental control technology. Windows
are user operable and the office space is naturally ventilated. A
mixed mode displacement ventilation system, coupled with a heat
exchanger, provides fresh or warm air through the raised floor.
Exposed concrete ceiling panels utilise thermal mass cooling to
avoid the need for air conditioning.

24. East Point Business Park Commercial Offices
Client East Point Development Group
Area 137,000m2
East Point Business Park is located on the edge of Dublin’s
Docklands. The challenges for Scott Tallon Walker included managing
the environmental and landfill gas issues, master planning the 13.75
Ha (34 Acre) site as well as designing all of the 34 buildings.
The design concept for East Point is one of cost effective, flexible
and well serviced buildings designed as sculptural elements within a
heavily landscaped environment. Each building is different in form yet
all use the same limited palette of materials - Irish limestone, glass
and aluminium. The campus setting, on-site telecom exchange and
hard-wired IT backbone all marry to provide the occupants with an
environment that promotes synergy, interaction and growth.
Flat concrete slabs, generous ceiling and floor voids, as well as
high levels of insulation and solar shading all combine to create an
efficient building system. The refined detailing of the bespoke STW
designed curtain walling system, married with the varying forms of
brise soleil all create a precision in assembly that reflects the quality
of the companies that now occupy the development. The British
Council for Offices has located events at the park as part of its 1998
and 2006 Annual Conferences.

26. GE Money Commercial Offices
Client GE Money
Area 2,800m2
GE Money wished to develop a building to house their expanding
European Customer Services Centre. The building is mainly a call
centre resulting in a heavy cooling load, normally requiring full
air-conditioning. The client had expressed an interest in a low-energy
building.
Scott Tallon walker rose to the challenge by designing on the principle
of using the mass of the structure for thermal cooling. Designed on
three levels around a large central garden atrium, the reinforced-
concrete frame and precast floor slabs with smooth coffered soffits
forming the ceiling act as the thermal fly wheel.
Ventilation is by displacement with heat recovery through an air/air
heat exchanger. The building won the Best corporate workplace
award from the British Council for Offices and the innovation in M&E
services award from the ACEI for the low energy design strategy.

Tower 42 (NatWest Tower) was originally home to the National
Westminster Bank. The building is now multi-tenanted and
comprises Grade A office space over 41 floors and a Michelin Star
restaurant on the 42nd Floor.
Scott Tallon Walker Architects were commissioned to provide a
high quality fit-out and interior design service for McCann FitzGerald
Solicitors on the 38th floor of the building.
Offices and Meeting Rooms are located at the floor perimeter
ensuring maximum use is made of the spectacular views and
abundant natural light. Partitions parallel to the façade are double
glazed with fully glazed doors ensuring light penetration into the inner
circulation zone and secretarial workstations. Photocopy, storage
and server rooms are located in the inner zone, adjacent to the
building core, where natural light and views are not a priority.

28. Eircom Network Management Centre Commercial Offices
Client Eircom
Area 3,700m2
The building is the nerve centre from which Ireland’s entire
telecommunications network is monitored. The Network Management
Centre allows network availability to be matched to demand, while
at the same time ensuring speedy identification and resolution
of network problems. In the design of the building, the network
operations centre and the technical support offices are expressed
as two distinct elements, and are linked by a glazed reception hall.
A 30m high telecommunications mast on a landscaped mound,
punctuates the resulting T-shaped plan.
The network operations centre forms the north leg of the T-plan.
Enclosed by granite walls, it is virtually windowless for security
reasons. This space is the hub of the network. It is manned around
the clock, and air-conditioned for comfort. A restaurant is located
at ground floor under the network operations centre, and a visitors’
gallery/demonstration area overlooks the centre. The technical
support offices in the other leg are open-plan and naturally ventilated.
The south façade is fully glazed, and is shaded by brise-soleil and a
colonnade. Six service towers act as ‘buffers’ between the motorway
and the technical support offices.
The building is energy-efficient, using innovative passive and active
environmental control technology. Windows are openable, and the
interior planted garden atria create a stack effect which channels
warm air out of the building. A mixed-mode displacement ventilation
system, coupled with a heat exchanger, provides fresh or warm
air through the raised floor. Exposed concrete ceiling panels utilise
thermal-mass cooling to avoid the need for air conditioning.

but can be easily subdivided to suit multiple occupancy.
The buildings are arranged to create an architectural vista and ‘gate’
between 3 storey high granite walls leading from the entrance side
with carparking and access roads to the landscaped canalside
area.
The buildings are clad in granite and aluminium curtain walling

Dublin City Council held an international architectural competition
to complete their headquarters at Wood Quay. The existence of the
phase 1 buildings, completed in 1986, together with the remaining
archaeological artifacts on the site, made this a complex and
challenging brief.
Although the new building has a totally different character from the
original towers, it shares some of their architectural features – the
sheer granite cladding without mouldings, the prismatic geometry,
and the horizontal strip windows. Rather than turning its back on the
towers, the new building steps up towards them, and stretches out
a large wing that fills the space between them. The existing towers
are linked by a glazed atrium.

31. West Pier Office Development Commercial Offices
Client Cosgrave Brothers
Area 13,000m2
The project at West Pier is located on an unusual site, to the north it
has stunning views of Dublin Bay and to the south a steep 15-20m
high escarpment bounded the site, so effectively is was at the base
of a cliff.
The design maximised the potential of the site providing naturally
ventilated car parking under a roof garden at the base of the cliff,
reducing its dominance over the site while giving optimum views and
orientation to the 12,000m2 of commercial offices provided in three
individual but connected blocks.
A natural limestone faced precast concrete panel was used
throughout with stone curved to make the characteristic rounded
form of the front of the buildings. The gables and other in-situ
elements were clad in the same stone, but hand fixed.

35. Arthur Street Offices - Belfast, BT1, UK Commercial Offices
Client Michael Kelly
Area 1935m2
The site is in a tight urban environment in central Belfast, with listed
buildings to the west and north. The aim of the design was to provide
a modern building to stand alongside the listed Trustee Savings Bank
and the State Building.
Arthur House, with its distinctive white steel-framed structure and
fourth-floor pergola, is a dramatic contrast in style, colour and
materials to its listed brick, terracotta and stone neighbours. It
also anticipates the scale and architecture of the proposed Erskine
House on the adjoining site, and it steps down the scale from the
new building to the State Building. The pergola provides a bright
roof terrace, accessed from the building’s fourth floor, with dramatic
views across the city.
The structure is entirely steel frame, with pre-cast concrete staircases
set within the structural frame. The structural grid was dictated by
the locations of the original pile foundations, as these were reused
within the new scheme.

The 120,000sq.m Point Village development is located on a 3.5
hectare site at the most easterly part of the Dublin Docklands
development to the north of Dublin’s River Liffey. The scheme is
designed around a major new public space, Point Square, whcih
also provides the terminus for the extended Luas Red Line. The 3.5
storey basement of the scheme with capacity for 850 cars extends
beneath the Luas terminus, which required particular co-ordination
at construction stage.

designed by Scott Tallon Walker Architects. The hotel’s reception
area is accessed from the high profile entrance on the corner of
Lapp’s Quay and Clontarf Street, which was developed to provide
maximum visibility through the use of projecting balconies and an
entrance canopy. The spaces within the reception area are created
by overlapping screens, creating anticipation prior to entering the 6

gallery and balconies. The differing moods and characters of the
atrium lounge, the restaurant and the bar were created through the
use of bespoke furniture, fittings and lighting, much of which was
designed by Scott Tallon Walker. A Bremen blue-grey marble floor
runs from the reception into the atrium and restaurant, broken by
islands of soft brown carpet, which creates a quiet and understated
background. The bedrooms are designed using carefully detailed

In late 2004, Scott Tallon Walker and HOK SVE (Populous) came
together to enter the international competition to act as architects
for the creation of a new international stadium for rugby and football,
to replace the aging stadium at Lansdowne Road. The bid was
successful, and the team was appointed in April 2005.
During the design development stage, Scott Tallon Walker worked
closely with both the IRFU (Irish Rugby Football Union) and the FAI
(Football Association of Ireland) in developing a scheme that suited
the requirements of both parties. The players’ facilities can be quite
similar, the business plans of each organisation and for the stadium
operator differed. Both organisations have their own requirements
for their supporters and the experience that they wished to create,
and each had a different offering, particularly for corporate guests.
In addition, the requirements of the stadium operator had to be
incorporated into the designs, to ensure that the stadium, as a venue,
competed within the conferencing, catering and event market .

Completion Date 2012
King Saud University is the largest and most prestigious university
in the Middle East. Established in 1957, the university has currently
over 60,000 students. In late 2010 Scott Tallon Walker Architects
were appointed architects to design and deliver the new academic
buildings and sports campus, which are part of the ongoing
expansion and upgrading of academic facilities at the university.
The College of Sports Science and Physical Activity has two primary
elements – the College Building, to accommodate the academic
activities of the Faculty, and the Sports Campus.
The College Building opens off the shaded street that is the main
spine of the college campus. The Sports Campus is on an elevated
site to the rear connected to the College Building by an enclosed
pedestrian bridge. The sports campus includes an arena with 10,000
seats for spectators suitable for both athletics, to international
standards, as well as acting as the University’s Aula Maxima.
Other facilities in the campus include a 50m Olympic standard
swimming pool, with separate diving and 25m training pools, halls
to accommodate racquet sports, gymnastics, ball sports and
marshal arts, a dedicated gym facility as well as associated teaching,
conditioning and changing rooms.
