The Story
This artistic viewing plaƞorm is designed by the OPW and Paul Arnold Architects site on
the edge of the Atlantic and hosts thousands of visitors each year. The structure is fabricated from Duplex Stainless Steel with the balustrade and flooring fabricated from Corten steel. This was a unique piece designed with the Wild Atlantic Way logo as the platform shape. The balustrade was laser cut from 12mm plate with thousands of holes
all various sizes to create an artistic view.This new and exciting addition to the tourism infrastructure of the Dingle Peninsula, designed by Paul Arnold Architects was built by the Office of Public Works under a strategic partnership with Fáilte Ireland.
Why It Should Win
This project contained many challenges including Design, Material Procurement, Fabrication Challenges as well as location difficulties. Our ability to collaborate with the OPW and the Design Architects to develop premium design details and tease out multiple design issues and challenges often set us apart.
A project like this involves huge commitment and design investment in developing high-quality design details in order to give the client confidence in the final design details as well as give us the confidence to proceed to full fabrication. Our ability to provide design, engineering, full fabrication, and site installation ensures a premium standard end product and a highly impressed client.
This busy tourist attraction is enjoyed by thousands of tourists each year giving us great satisfaction and assurance that this project is deserving of peer recognition.
