Custom House Square is a prestigious €7 million mixed-use building in a very prominent part of
Belfast at Custom House Square, adjacent to the River Lagan.
The building is fourteen storeys high, comprising 4,200 square metres, including eight
penthouse apartments, and is designed by one of Belfast's best known architectural practices, Todd
Architects. The project was won at competititive tender by P. Elliott & Company Ltd.
The building is constructed with a reinforced concrete frame and features a unique curved glass
faηade which has led it to being named locally as "the Boat."
Coloured aluminium "picture frames" surround the balcony windows at various locations on the
faηade giving it a look that will be unique to Belfast.
Solar shading to the faηade is provided by a curved timber brise soleil supported by a stainless
steel cable system.
Access to the basement car park is achieved by using a vehicle lift.
This project is an exciting new project for P. Elliott & Company Ltd in Belfast, and establishes the
company as a major player in the Northern Ireland construction scene.
