The primary structural elements consisted of reinforced concrete with post-tensioned flat slabs. Overcoming complexities, the project showcased a highly intricate roof geometry, realized through the strategic use of a steel frame.

The Merrion Showroom project posed a series of formidable challenges, notably the construction of a deep basement in extremely close proximity to an operational hospital.

Project: The Merrion Showroom
Design Architect: Urban Agency

Client: Lioncor

143 Merrion Road, Dublin, Ireland

Residential Sector

Key Features


Deep Basement Construction:

One of the primary challenges was the construction of a deep basement in the immediate vicinity of an operational hospital. Meticulous planning and execution were paramount to ensuring the safety and stability of the surrounding environment.


Reinforced Concrete with Post-Tensioned Flat Slabs:

The main structural framework of The Merrion Showroom predominantly features reinforced concrete (RC) with post-tensioned flat slabs.


This choice not only ensures structural integrity but also maximizes efficiency in load-bearing capacities.


Complex Roof Geometry with Steel Frame:

Achieving a highly complex roof geometry was a central design element of the project.

A steel frame proved instrumental in realizing this intricate design, providing both the strength and flexibility needed to bring the vision to life.


Proximity to Live Hospital:

The project's location in close proximity to a live hospital demanded meticulous coordination to minimize disruptions.


Stringent safety measures and precise construction methodologies were implemented to ensure the seamless coexistence of the construction site and the hospital's operations.
