The Malt House, Dublin

The Malt House, Dublin, was built by the Guinness family in 1859 and is located in the city’s South Docklands area. A much-loved local landmark, it’s become a prominent fixture in the lively Dublin Quays neighbourhood, evoking the city’s rich trading heritage.

Serving as a barley store until the mid-20th century, the historic structure is undergoing a significant transformation, blending Victorian charm with modern design to create 48,000 sq. ft. of premium commercial office space.

The waterfront-adjacent building will feature an impressive four-storey glass extension rising above the original stone-clad building. With bright, spacious floor plates ranging from 4,000 to 7,000 sq. ft. and generous floor-to-ceiling heights, the development promises to deliver an unparalleled working environment. The seventh floor will be a standout feature, boasting a double-height atrium space that opens onto a waterfront terrace with a rooftop garden.

Our glass and façade engineering team was brought on board by Irish Door Systems Ltd to focus on the design of the internal balustrade, a crucial component to ensure structural integrity and occupant safety. This includes the specifications for the bespoke balustrade frame, base supports and anchor bolts, ensuring the system can withstand the required occupancy loading conditions.

Perega’s involvement is part of our broader portfolio of work in Dublin Quays, highlighting our significant contributions to the community’s redevelopment.
