Introduction - Working with Scott Tallon Walker

Design Philosophy

Scott Tallon Walker’s growth and reputation since 1928 has derived

from our policy of producing buildings of outstanding quality. They

are consistently suitable for purpose and employ the best materials

and construction techniques. Our approach to a commission is to

establish the most innovative design solution to our clients needs,

with an all encompassing scheme design. We work closely with our

clients and team partners in a spirit of openness, to bring out the

most positive and imaginative design solutions.

The firm’s strength in delivering quality buildings is based on

the calibre and commitment of our staff. We strive to attract the

best qualifi ed and most creative talent and over the years have

assembled a core team whose experience in all aspects of design

and construction technology is unrivalled.

Collaboration

We have extensive experience in collaborative work with design

fi rms who have particular specialist experience. Recent successful

collaborations include the Aviva Stadium with Populous Architects

and the Tyndall National Institute with HDR.

Design Build

Scott Tallon Walker has extensive experience in building and working

successful design build relationships with contractors. The inclusion

of contracting in a collaborative partnering arrangement offers

considerable advantages to all parties.

Competitions

The practice has won a signifi cant element of its workload through

national and international competitions, such as the Civic Offi ces

Dublin and the Air Traffi c Control Tower for IAA.

Teamwork

The teamwork approach fostered by our experienced design team

leaders ensures that the optimum outcome is delivered for clients.

All team members are encouraged to engage in a dynamic and

forward thinking way in the design process. This collaborative model

ensures, we believe, that projects meet or exceed client expectation,

that sustainability is embedded in the design from inception and

that fl exibility, maintenance and future proofi ng are integrated fully

within the project.

The reputation of the practice is such that a signifi cant proportion

of our workload is either repeat work from existing clients, or one

off specialist facilities. This combination has given the practice a

unique breadth of experience.

Framework Partnering

We welcome the opportunity to establish framework partnering

relationships with long term clients. Our aim is to build and develop

a collaborative working relationship based on the principles of trust

and integrity. Our collaborative model has proven highly successful

and comprises four key elements:

combined leadership•

common vision and mutual goals•

people and relationship development•

system and processes•

We actively seek to work with clients on this basis and select

supply chain partners who wish to embark on long term, rewarding

relationships with STW.

The Practice was founded in 1928 and the fi rst building to achieve

international recognition was the Irish Pavilion for the New York

1939 World Fair.

Our 60 year international experience has comprised collaboration

with local architects e.g. University in Lusaka with Erhard Lorenz

Architects, new radio and television studios in Reykjavik with

Wilheimer Hjalmarasson, invited competitions such as the MEBCO

Bank in Beirut and the national radio and television studios for Abu

Dhabi.

In recent times a network of collaborative partnering has extended

our international capability and resulted in new projects such as the

recently completed GYP CYROI R&D incubator building in Reunion

Island in the Indian Ocean.

In 2010 we commenced working in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with

Buro Happold, with whom we designed the King Saud University

Sports Campus, and are now registered in Saudi Arabia, working

in association with Usamah M Al-Kurdi.

Interior Design

The Scott Tallon Walker Interior Design Team combine imaginative design ides with colour, art and

practical use of space. Our approach is to not only integrate our interiors with the ethos and dynamics

of our client, but equally with the potential of the building and its services.

Scott Tallon Walker’s core activity is the design of buildings. It’s reputation is built on the delivery of

exceptional design quality in virtually every general and specialist fi eld of design. Experience includes

healthcare, commercial, education, scientifi c, residential, transport, communications, administration

and many others.

Masterplanning

We prepare strategies that seek to maximise the site potential for development. We consider the

surrounding context - physical, social and economic - working collaboratively with others, to provide vision

that can be delivered. Our masterplanning experience covers all development sectors, from small urban

infi ll to large scale campuses. Eastpoint Business Park, for example, has been successfully transformed

from dereliction in 1995 into a 200,000sqm highly attractive business location today.

East Point Business Park - Dublin, Ireland


Conservation

Intense research and appropriate design and detail inform our approach to historic buildings. In particular

we have established a reputation for sensitively combining the architecture of today with that of the past

as illustrated in the Gate Theatre project above. We also have considerable experience of sensitively

upgrading late 20th Century buildings to provide new uses and new energy performance.

Gate Theatre - Dublin, Ireland

One of the core principles of the practice is the integration of Art and Architecture. Close collaboration

with a wide variety of emerging and established artists has enabled Scott Tallon Walker to produce a

considerable number of projects that have been enriched and enhanced by the incorporation of art into

the working environment and into the wider public realm.

Refurbishment

DKIT School of Informatics & Creative Arts, Ireland Commissioners of Irish Lights Headquarters, Co. Dublin, Ireland

Scott Tallon Walker Architects have extensive experience of advising Clients in the appraisal of the benefi ts

of refurbishment over new build or vice versa and also in comparing the merits of the different levels of

refurbishment, both in vacant or live occupied building environments. Our successful completion of FAS

Training Centres illustrate this experience.

Sustainability

The promotion of sustainability and energy effi cient buildings within our practice is one of the key principles

of our philosophy and design approach. The realization of responsible, dynamic environmental design

is, we believe, central to the creation of healthy, uplifting buildings and environments that benefi ts us all

as a global community.


The fi rm embraces a wide range of challenges,

which adds a rare breadth and depth to our expertise.


Sustainability

Our Expertise

We deliver high quality design solutions while addressing

environmental challenges by fostering expertise in sustainability

in the built environment. Scott Tallon Walker Architects offer a full

range of advice and experience in sustainable and environmentally

responsible design from brief to project completion with a specialist

in-house group to review and enable sustainable design.

In house expertise includes a skill base with credentials as LEED

AP, BREEAM AP & Assessors. Our staff are also trained in Building

Information Modelling (BIM), a tool which can be harnessed to deliver

low cost “Green Buildings”.

Scott Tallon Walker Architects are founding members of the Irish

Green Building Council and support initiatives such as the Carbon

Trust in the United Kingdom which are independent experts with a

mission to accelerate the move to a “low carbon economy”.

Our Commitment

The promotion of sustainability and energy effi cient buildings within

our practice is one of the key principles of our philosophy and

design approach. We believe the realisation of responsible, dynamic

environmental design is central to the creation of healthy, uplifting

buildings and environments that benefi t us all as a global community.

Everyone connected to the construction industry has a role to

ensure energy consumption and carbon emissions are reduced. As

architects, we have a key position in leading this discussion, and

working with our clients to deliver exemplar projects.

We believe sustainable design presents an opportunity to address

social responsibility, not only in relation to materials and production

but also regarding positive, social spaces encouraging intimacy

and community.

Our objective in addressing sustainability is to create value within the

built environment based on a holistic approach to social, economic

and climatic considerations.

Sustainable Design Through Collaboration

Addressing sustainability can only be achieved by fostering close

relationships between the client and key designers, ensuring an

ethos of collaboration between all members of the design team and

an early engagement with specialists in construction management

and contractors. This process of collaboration and partnerships

ensures that sustainability can be integrated into the design brief

and all members of the design and construction team contribute

their experience in delivering sustainable design solutions.

Our Approach

We approach each project on an individual basis to ensure a

dedicated environmental strategy is established to both maximise

energy effi ciency and minimise the project’s overall environmental

impact. When establishing an environmental strategy, it is imperative

to gain a full understanding of the environmental factors that impact

on the local region in addition to the operational requirements

of the project. Addressing these can not only benefi t the local

environment but can also aid in delivering reduced project and

operational costs.

This approach begins from the earliest inception stage where

integrated design charettes are undertaken by dedicated sustainable

design staff, in collaboration with the client and full design team, to

identify key challenges and opportunities.

Environmental challenges such as water reduction and more effi cient use

of energy are two of the key impacts for sustainable design in Saudi

Arabia. Numerous solutions to reduce energy consumption in building

processes already exist however reduced energy consumption can

be achieved simply by designing and situating correctly the building in

relation to the surrounding landscape and climate.

Benchmarking Sustainability

Sustainability goals set out during brief development and early

design stage can be developed against international environmental

methodologies such as LEED & BREEAM. These methodologies

address wide-ranging environmental and sustainability issues and

enables developers, designers and building managers to address

the key environmental impacts of the building and its ecological

footprint.

“A collaborative approach is based on developing the right

relationship, one that is founded on trust and where challenging is not

only accepted but is expected, it is a relationship that enables people

to face up to real diffi culties openly, certain that the response will be one

of helping to solve the problem together.”

“Through its sitting, mixed use and considered use of appropriate

technologies, this inner city building invigorates a diffi cult site and

seamlessly integrates all aspects of sustainability on a wider socio-

economic scale. From re-use of an existing building, to the sourcing

of local materials and the impact on the local community it serves as a

model of well mannered urban redevelopment with solid environmental

concerns integrated into the design.”

Urban Design & Masterplanning

Urban Design & Planning

Scott Tallon Walker Architects has over 50 years masterplanning

experience. Our projects include both green-field and urban;

university, healthcare, science, technology and business campuses,

as well as, residential and mixed-use communities. Some projects

involve a large soft landscape component, while others involve a

more hierarchical urban public realm strategy.

As development is part of an on-going process of evolution,

masterplanning needs to provide fl exibility for growth and change

over time, as well as meeting immediate needs. For example, since

1960, we have produced a series of masterplanning strategies for

the RTE campus at Donnybrook, Dublin 4. These have allowed

the RTE organisation to grow and evolve, responding to changing

technology and progressive work practices.

As part of the masterplanning process, we consider the place being

created and how it will be used within a broader strategic context.

This involves analysing and working with the physical surrounding,

identifying potential uses and activities and their location, considering

movement patterns and establishing infrastructure requirements.

These are brought together within an overall planning framework

based on clear architectural, landscape and infrastructural principles,

informed by economic and cultural values.

We work closely with the Client team on identifying the short-,

medium- and long term objectives which guide how the

masterplanning strategy should be implemented. We prepare urban

design guidelines on the overall form and structure of buildings

needed to achieve the quality and character that delivers real and

meaningful places.

We are very experienced at communicating ideas and proposals,

as well as listening and working with our fellow professionals, to

provide the most appropriate workable strategy. As Design Team

leaders, we offer a holistic overall coordinated approach to the

masterplanning process.

“City Quarter has achieved our expectations; it is fully let, is recognised as a seminal development

for the development of Cork City, is well received by our tenants, the public and has already acted

as a catalyst for further Dockland development in the city. The product is fantastic, a credit to all

involved... You have set a new level for building design in Cork”

Healthcare

Mental Health Facilities

Core issues to keep to the fore front of the design philosophy are

the therapeutic environment, cleanliness, aesthetics, security and

safety and sustainability. Scott Tallon Walker Architects believe that

the design of successful Mental Health facilities should:

Promote staff effi ciency by minimizing distance of necessary •

travel between frequently used spaces

Allow easy visual supervision of patients by limited staff. Nurse •

stations on inpatient units should be designed to provide

maximum visibility of patient areas.

Include all needed spaces, but no redundant ones. This •

requires careful pre-design programming.

For inpatient units, provide a central meeting area or living •

room for staff and patients and provide smaller rooms where

patients can visit with their families

Make effi cient use of space by locating support spaces so •

that they may be shared by adjacent functional areas, and by

making prudent use of multi-purpose spaces

Science & Research

Scott Tallon Walker has been responsible for the design of numerous

research facilities of international standing. We have developed an

expertise in the design of these technically demanding and precise

environments without losing sight that such facilities should be

uplifting spaces in which to conduct research.

There are many key issues that occur in the design of laboratories

and our team have a specialised skill set that ensure delivery of a

design that is both versatile and fl exible.

We believe in creating an open research space which encourages the

exchange of ideas and allows for multidiscipline research. Through

well planned and innovative design techniques we promote the

optimum utilisation of space which interacts easily with commercial

interests.

We also focus on the issues of safety in the laboratory environment

which is important in promoting the welfare of staff. Another major

consideration in our approach to laboratory design is establishing

low energy and operation targets, as well as achieving a high

BREEAM rating.

Increasingly our clients from all sectors - HEI’s, corporate and

government institutes, require greater effi ciency and versatility from

their research facilities whether existing or proposed, to respond to

emerging trends in science and the way research is conducted.

Communication & Media

Scott Tallon Walker has the unique experience of having designed

all the buildings for Ireland’s national broadcaster (Ireland’s RTE)

throughout a fi fty year period. The completion of the design stage

of “Project 2025” for RTE in October 2009, a world class 50,000

sq.m digital cross-media facility, is the latest stage in the ongoing

development of Scott Tallon Walker’s experience in this fi eld.

We travel extensively to study international best practice and

are thoroughly informed in the ever advancing environment of

communications technology. The expertise gained in relation

to aspects such as digital broadcast technology, acoustics and

sustainable servicing have been applied to the design of “Project

2025”.

This knowledge is added to the already signifi cant experience in

designing highly complex projects such as the Shannon Air Traffi c

Control Centre, Dublin Airport Air Traffi c Control Tower and the

highly innovative and sustainable Telecommunications Network

Management Centre for Ireland’s largest telecoms company, Eircom,

which received an RIAI award.

The cross-fertilisation of innovative engineering and excellence in

architecture in each of these projects gives our practice a unique

knowledge base to serve clients in the communications sector.

Transport & Aviation

Scott Tallon Walker’s involvement with transport related projects goes

back as far as the 1940’s with the design and construction of Busáras,

Dublin’s central bus station. Busáras when completed in 1953, was

one of the fi rst post Second World War examples of the International

Style in Europe, and was the fi rst modern building to be constructed

in Ireland’s capital city. Its modern approach to massing, form and

materiality attracted reviews and attention from all over Europe.

The new Air Traffi c Control Centre at Shannon, on Ireland’s western

seaboard, for the Irish Aviation Authority, vitally controls all air traffi c

over the Atlantic between North America and Europe. Recent projects

include the Air Traffi c Control Towers for Ireland’s international airports

at Dublin and Cork again on behalf of the Irish Aviation Authority. Being

an island nation, it is essential that the most modern air transportation

infrastructure is in place.

The new headquarters and workshop building for the Commissioners

of Irish Lights includes facilities for the co-ordination and monitoring

of all sea bound vessels around the coast of Ireland and the provision

and maintenance of marine aids to navigation.

In 2001, Scott Tallon Walker was appointed as master planners and

architects for the redevelopment of the existing regional airport at Lydd

in Kent to the south east of London. The scheme remains a potentially

viable project for future implementation. As part of the overall expansion

of Dublin Airport, Scott Tallon Walker worked with private land owners,

developers and the Dublin Airport Authority in development of a master

plan for the creation of a new airport terminal building, air side and land

side freight handling facilities and related commercial development to

the west of the existing terminal complex, fl anked to the north and

south by the two parallel runways.

Scott Tallon Walker were part of the team appointed by Alliance Texas,

a Perot Company, in reviewing the development potential for “inland

Civic & Cultural

Scott Tallon Walker Architects have designed some of Ireland’s most

important civic and cultural buildings: from the National Theatre at

the Abbey, to the award winning Dublin City Council headquarters.

The practice embraces and designs the broadest range of public

buildings, including theatres, pavilions, monuments, civic offi ces,

churches, stadia and community centres.

We recognise the challenges associated with the design of civic and

cultural buildings: the importance of issues such as transparency,

accessibility, urban regeneration and the key role such projects take

as examplars in sustainability.

We encourage and explore the shared relationship between Art and

Architecture. The practice has progressed a number of sculpture-led

public projects including two collaborations with the sculptor Michael

Warren: Tulach a’tSolais (The Mound of Light), a beautifully crafted

monument in a rural landscape; and a proposal to replace Nelson’s

Pillar in O’Connell Street, Dublin’s principal historic thoroughfare.

Over the last 20 years, we have been responsible for the

masterplanning of Dublin’s Gate Theatre buildings and have designed

a series of building projects that encompass extensive works of

conservation, refurbishment and design enhancements. Each of

these adaptive projects has been vital to the survival of the Gate

Theatre and to its continued artistic and commercial success.

“The Gate’s architects, Scott Tallon Walker, evolved an inspired plan, which, at a stroke, resolved

all these diffi culties in a stunning new design that enhances not only the theatre but Parnell Square

as a whole.”

Commercial

Scott Tallon Walker have established a wealth of experience and high reputation in the design and delivery of commercial offi ce developments, covering headquarters buildings and campus developments for national and international clients in a variety of sectors including fi nancial services, computer technology, legal and public sector agencies.

This expertise has been established through a dedicated commercial design group within the Practice, which is constantly upgrading and developing their skills to meet the demanding and changing needs of the commercial offi ce sector.

We meet these challenges thorough a dynamic, skilled and innovative approach to design with an emphasis on teamwork at every level, recognising and understanding the needs of clients to achieve their business objectives and goals and responding in a proactive and fl exible manner in achieving these objectives.

We incorporate the latest trends in commercial offi ce design, with an integrated approach from the outset to structure, building services, facades, sustainability and energy effi ciency, cost economics, value engineering and life cycle analysis. We benchmark our performance in these key areas against Construction Consultants Key Performance Indicators which maintains our focus on the delivery of a quality product and service to our clients.

We see the critical objective in this process as being the creation of a building design which combines best practice and commercial viability. This is achieved through the pursuit of design excellence and innovation, the provision of a dynamic, attractive and fl exible working environment for employees and all users, maximising use of natural day-lighting, sustainability both in construction and use, overall effi ciency and the creation of a high quality working environment. We apply this objective equally to all our commercial projects, whether they be for the large corporate headquarters or for a small scale commercial fi tout. In each case, the client and their needs are of equal importance.

Our approach to design excellence extends to our design of commercial interiors, which are innovative and inspiring with an emphasis on the creation of an appealing and motivating working environment. We strive for a sense of identity and activity in the creation of healthy, comfortable and fl exible working environments, integrated with the design of the building fabric. Scott Tallon Walker are members of the British Council for Offi ces through which we maintain our position at the cutting edge of commercial design standards and trends, ensuring continued best service to our clients. Our commercial client base is extensive, much of it based on repeat business.

“It was very important to us in embarking on this project that we would end up with not just a

landmark building but also one which would be practical in terms of its functionality and design

(including interior fi tout design) and built to the highest standards. All of this was achieved to

everyone’s satisfaction within a very tight timeframe and, most importantly within budget”

Residential

Through the successful completion of various large-scale private

residential apartment developments in the UK and Ireland and various

high-quality one-off residential homes for specifi c private clients,

we have developed a skill base which understands the needs of

modern living while at the same time recognising the importance of

the technical, sustainable and cost effi cient aspects of residential

design.

This understanding enables us to balance the need for contemporary

living standards with current sustainable design principles. We bring

to our design process an emphasis on scale, proportion and form,

with particular attention to orientation, natural daylight, acoustic

privacy, private and public open space, landscaping, circulation

patterns, space around buildings, interface with the public realm

and passive security.

As part of the continuing urban regeneration of Dublin’s Docklands, we

have completed a 616 unit luxury private apartment and penthouse

development in Spencer Dock. As part of the Government’s social

inclusion policy, this development includes a second phase Social

Housing Apartment scheme, designed to the same high quality and

standards as the private scheme. These developments form part of

the larger mixed use development of Spencer Dock which has been

masterplanned by Scott Tallon Walker Architects.

“All… buildings were designed and completed to a very high standard and this has been achieved

with the dedication and support of Scott Tallon Walker as architects. We would have no hesitation

in recommending Scott Tallon Walker for projects of similar scale and complexity”

Hotel, Leisure & Retail

Hotel and leisure projects provide the opportunity to combine our

architecture and urban design skills with our extensive experience

in providing innovative interior design.

Each concept is developed in response to the specifi c nature of

the site and to create highly fl exible spaces and uplifting interiors

to suit the needs and budgets of our client. The specifi c design

is carefully considered in a response that transcends fashion and

aims to produce an impact that will last the test of time. The hotels

in Dublin’s Financial Services Centre and Cork’s Lapps Quay both

relate to their respective river frontages and have had a spin-off

regenerative effect on their respective neighbourhoods. Every

scheme is based on sound and experience driven design principles

and is developed in close collaboration with the client to provide a

unique bespoke solution.

Whether a component of a larger commercial scheme designed to

provide active frontage and vibrant uses at street level, the renovation

and fi t out of a high street department store, or the commercial centre

at the heart of a mixed use scheme, retail provides a key component

of a number of Scott Tallon Walker’s projects.

Our Practice designed Marks & Spencer’s fl agship store in Dublin’s

Grafton Street. We were also engaged to renovate the former

Switzer’s store for Brown Thomas, Ireland’s exclusive department

store. This project involved the conservation of facades, the creation

of new shop fronts, and the rebuild of the three storey over double

basement department store.

The design of new BMW showrooms gave the practice the

opportunity to develop its interest in light elegant structures and

beautifully crafted glazing systems, while showcasing the BMW

product to its maximum advantage.

The Point Village Shopping Centre integrates urban design, planning

and architecture, providing a vibrant complex of offi ces, hotel,

cinemas and shops in Dublin’s Docklands. The design ensures that

the Point Village will become a destination in the City Centre, whether

to browse in naturally lit shopping malls, see a movie or simply hang

out in the pavement cafes fronting onto Point Square.

Conservation & Restoration

Scott Tallon Walker Architects have advised Clients over many

years in the appraisal of the benefi ts of refurbishment over new

build or vice versa and also in comparisons of the merits of different

levels of refurbishment, both in vacant and live occupied building

environments.

Through our understanding of buildings and their environments,

we strive to work in a sensitive and cost effective manner with

existing building fabric to express the best aspects of the buildings

original design, while upgrading materials, structures and building

services to respond to the clients requirements in the 21st Century.

This response includes evaluation of fi re safety and accessibility

requirements to meet current Building Regulations and occupancy

standards.

We take on refurbishment from fi rst principles, evaluating the existing

site and building condition, surveying existing structures and services

and gathering original design documentation. Regeneration of a

building for future use is a fi rst principle of environmental sustainability

and something we engage in with the Client from the outset.

Refurbishment covers a wide set of skills that we have acquired

through time and design rigor. Many projects require sensitive

conservation of existing historic structures, interior design, master

planning, consultant design team co-ordination and a wide range

of soft skills to ease temporary re-locations of staff.

In addition to new project refurbishments, we are often re-engaged

to refurbish buildings we have originally designed. We are currently

involved in several substantial regenerative projects, such as

the former award winning PJ Carroll’s factory in Dundalk, now

encompassed into the Dundalk Institute of Technology and the

FAS National Training Agency buildings in Ballyfermot and Finglas,

Dublin.

Our experience includes the complete sensitive refurbishment of

listed buildings such as the Royal College of Physicians, and the

mixture of refurbishment and sensitive modern intervention as in the

Gate Theatre in Dublin and the Tyndall Institute in Cork.

Industrial & Car Parking

We constantly progress the idea of purposeful aesthetics in all

building types and scales. Industrial process buildings and the

places people work should, we believe, have environments that are

ideally optimised for the intended industrial process and be uplifting

places to work.

Our solutions are often guided by the industrial production process.

Indeed when The Irish Times relocated their printing operations

from D’Olier St in the centre of Dublin to a larger greenfi eld site on

the outskirts, we embraced the printing process engineering and

integrated the building design parallel to process design requirements

providing optimum layout for equipment and operations.

Through our in-house Sustainability Group we encourage progressive

sustainable methods and design developments with reduced carbon

footprints. We incorporate natural day lighting into the core of our

designs and prioritise the integration of all services and BMS systems

to ensure minimal energy losses from building fabrics.

The same wish to generate a positive outcome can be seen intwo

recent functional car parking structures at St. Vincent’s University

Hospital and Blackrock Hospital, where each has become a

signifi cant landscape feature on their sites.

“The success of the project refl ects the dedicated professionalism, expertise and skills of the team

at Scott Tallon Walker and their outstanding input to all key areas for its duration. The team’s

support and encouragement to this company at all stages was exceptional and invaluable”

Sport & Event Design

Scott Tallon Walker has recently expanded its traditional expertise

in the provision of sport and event centres to include projects

that now appear on the international stage. As part of its ongoing

portfolio, Scott Tallon Walker has designed and delivered sport

centres for many institutions including Trinity College, Dublin,

The National University of Ireland, Galway and at RTE, (Ireland’s

national television and radio broadcasting company), creating multi

functional buildings suitable not only for use for indoor sports, but

also as theatres, examination halls, student facilities and other such

activities. In addition, we have enabled Listed Buildings, as part of

their conservation process, to evolve into event centres capable of

competing with purpose built facilities, including the creation of a

conferencing centre in the Victorian home of The Royal College of

Physicians of Ireland, the ongoing modernisation and expansion

of The Gate Theatre, both in Dublin, the refurbishment of The Aula

Maxima in the 1840’s Quadrangle in Galway University and the

remodelling of both the Gaiety and Olympia Theatres in Dublin.

In 1998, Scott Tallon Walker were commissioned by the Irish

Government to prepare a master plan for the new national sporting

centre of excellence – Sports Campus Ireland, and to design the

new 80,000 spectator capacity National Stadium, capable of

accommodating Gaelic, Rugby and Soccer, as well as track and fi eld

events. The Campus is currently under development, but a decision

was taken by the Government to provide Ireland’s International

Stadium for Rugby and Soccer by rebuilding the world’s oldest

international rugby stadium at Lansdowne Road. In 2004, Scott

Tallon Walker, with Populous, won the international competition for

the design and delivery of the new Aviva Stadium at Lansdowne

Road, which was completed in April 2010.

In 2010, we were appointed to design the new 13,000 sq.m. College

of Sports science, as well as the new 40,000 sq.m. sports campus,

which includes a 7000 all seater international athletics arena, two

Olympic standard swimming pools, gymnastics and ball game

courts, with associated players’ media and spectators’ facilities at

the King Saud University, Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The project is under

construction, and due for completion in 2012.

We are currently designing the new Centre of Excellence and new

13,000 seater south stand, with associated VIP, media and players’

facilities, at Pairc Ui Chaoimh for The Cork County Board of the GAA

in Cork City. The scheme is due for handover in late 2013. The broad

base experience within Scott Tallon Walker, as well as the most recent

specifi c knowledge in sports stadium and conference centre design

will enable us to provide clients with the optimum design solution.

Interior Design

Scott Tallon Walker has extensive experience in providing quality

interior design solutions for its clients. We have created the interiors

of many of our buildings, but also successfully work in modern and

heritage buildings, to create spaces and interiors to suit the specifi c

needs and budgets of our clients.

More innovative recent interior fi t outs include the new stadium as

Lansdowne Road, Dublin, three Clarion hotels with conferencing

and spa facilities, the new corporate offi ces for McCann FitzGerald

Solicitors, one of Ireland premier legal practices, the headquarters

for the Commissioners of Irish Lights, in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin,

from where all of Ireland’s waterways and lighthouses are controlled,

supported and maintained to the new BMW showrooms for Keane

Motors in County Dublin.

The success of our design solutions are based on the seamless

integrations of the building, its architecture and character, with the

design of the interiors. Whereas this can be more readily carried

out where Scott Tallon Walker are the designer of the building in the

fi rst instance, applying this discipline to either buildings designed

by other architects or to existing structures, is a process that we

have successfully carried out. Examples include interiors for such

companies as Pfi zer, Bank of New York, and Bank of Ireland to

converting the administrative headquarters for the Royal College of

Physicians of Ireland in Dublin, which is a Listed Building of National

Importance, into a conference centre.

Our approach to fi t out contracts commences with listening to the

client, visiting their existing facility, if such existing, and generating an

understanding of their specifi c needs, aspirations and requirements.

This process, which can include a charette type brainstorming

session, to include the various key personnel within the client’s

organisation, leads to the designers within Scott Tallon Walker having

a personal understanding of the brief. The team within Scott Tallon

Walker, which will be headed up by a director of the company, will

include both interior designers and architectural staff, to ensure that

the solutions being generated can be readily accommodated within

the selected building or structure.

Scott Tallon Walker is understandably proud of the broad spectrum

of interiors created by its designers. With any new appointment,

the skills and design fl air from within the company will be tapped to

ensure that the delivered interior that not only properly responds to

the client’s brief but creates spaces that everyone will fi nd satisfying,

uplifting, comfortable and effi cient.

Regular training is provided for staff on our Quality Assurance

System and all new staff are made aware of its requirements prior

to commencing work.

The added value brought to our clients by our commitment to quality

management is the reduction in the risk of error and particularly

omission.

The thrust of our procedures is to re-assure our clients that a

thorough process is being followed in an orderly fashion to deliver

an excellent quality service, from the initial brief taking stage, right

through to the commissioning and fi nal sign off stage.

Quality Management System

Scott Tallon Walker Architects place great importance on the

implementation and practice of our Health and Safety Policy in

the work place. We have carefully devised a Health and Safety

Management System, which ensures that all of our staff are fully

trained to carry out their duties effectively and safely.

Our fully qualifi ed Health and Safety Manager continually assesses

our systems and staff to ensure identifi cation and mitigation of any

specifi c hazards in the work environment.

To this end, we have put in place both a Risk Assessment Register

and a Health and Safety Manual, which is regularly updated in

accordance with current requirements. These guidelines and records

are circulated to all staff via our company intranet and the system

has been ISO certifi ed.


Practice Background

The origins of Scott Tallon Walker date back to 1928 when Michael

Scott founded the original architectural practice with Norman D

Good. During this period the fi rm developed a sterling reputation

for its excellent design approach to healthcare, major projects at

the time included Tullamore Hospital and St. Ultan’s Hospital. The

Pavilion Building (1939) was also designed by the fi rm during this

period for the World Fair in New York.

The Early Years

The Second World War and its aftermath heralded a new period for

design in Ireland and under Michael Scott’s mentorship the fi rm went

on to produce some of the fi nest examples of modern architecture in

Europe. Commissions included landmark buildings such as Geragh

(1939), Michael Scott’s home in Sandycove, and Córas Iompair

Éireann’s Headquarters Building, Busaras (1953) in Dublin. These

buildings have been lauded as some of the fi nest examples of the

modernist aesthetic in international architecture to this day, and

both Busaras and Geragh have gone on to be listed as protected

structures in Ireland.

The Emergence of Scott Tallon Walker

In 1958 the fi rm was recast as Michael Scott and Partners, with

Ronnie Tallon and Robin Walker becoming partners in the practice,

with the company later renamed as Scott Tallon Walker Architects

in 1975. The design work from this period has been noted as

uncompromisingly modern, Dr. Ronald Tallon and Robin Walker’s

modernist vision yielded some of the fi nest examples of this, including

the RTE Television Centre, the Bank of Ireland Headquarters in

Baggot Street (1968-1978) and the former P.J. Carroll’s Factory

(1967-69) in Dundalk, County Louth, which has also recently been

added to Ireland’s list of protected structures. Our fi rm have won

many awards including four gold medals from the RIAI and the

prestigious Royal Gold Medal from the RIBA for our contribution to

the fi eld of architecture.

Aesthetic vision is a key part of the fi rm’s philosophy, and to this end,

our practice has built up strong links and associations with the art

world, which has included active involvement in the art exhibition

ROSC. Our fi rm has engaged in the selection and commissioning

of art pieces, which sensitively compliment and enhance the

architecture we produce for our clients. Artists we have worked with

previously include Patrick Scott, Patrick Heron, Louis le Brocquy

and Michael Warren.
