Contract Information
Main Building Contractor
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 competitive 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.
