RIAI Irish Architecture Awards 2008

Cork Civic Offices Sweep the Board

Cork Civic Offices designed by ABK Architects had a clean sweep of 2008 RIAI Architecture awards in its category. It won "Best Accessible Project", "Best Public Building" and "Best Sustainable Project". Low Carbon Concrete (LCC) was used throughout the project. Anecdotally it is told that LCC was originally only specified for the substructure (for technical reasons), but the architect on seeing the quality and type of finish that was achievable had the specification changed to include LCC throughout the entire building.
