Project Description

Project: Bow Lane East Hotel

Client: Marlin Hotel Group

Architect: Cantrell Crowley Architects 

The site comprises lands at the rear of No’s 19-22 Aungier St & No.40 Bow Lane East, Dublin 2

The project involves a 300 bed hotel , 7 storeys high over a double level basement. Ground floor front-of-house reception area, function rooms, bar & restaurant areas with bedrooms provided in the floors over. Basement level car parking, plant rooms & back-of-house service areas. Concrete framed structure with flat slab floors and blade columns in every second bedroom wall.

Temporary works for the construction of a double level basement below a six storey RC frame hotel. Raking steel props were designed and installed to support the secant piled wall in the temporary case. This allowed the main contractor to easily excavate the basement at a low cost and in a short programme.
