INNOVATION IN SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
TOWARDS A LOW CARBON FUTURE
One of the most striking features of 8th Lock is its construction, with Ballymore the first company in Ireland to use CarbonCure concrete in the building. This innovative material is central to Ballymore’s sustainability strategy, aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
The integration of CarbonCure involved a meticulous process, taking multiple months to quantify and test by Reddy A+U, Ballymore and the onsite team. This foundational work sets a precedent for broader industry adoption, demonstrating Ballymore’s commitment to sustainability across its portfolio in Ireland and the UK. 8th Lock’s impressive sustainability credentials are further enhanced by its focus on both embodied and operational carbon reduction.
8th Lock Operational Carbon
• Reddy A+U conducted a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of 8th Lock, overseen by Carbon Trust, eliminating over 200 tonnes of CO2e
• Centralised heat generation plant with twin pipe heat network for residential and commercial units
• Heat interface units (HIUs) for space heating and domestic hot water
• Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) for reduced energy demand and improved air quality
8th Lock Embodied Carbon and Decarbonising
Materials 98% recycled steel reinforcement from Midland Steel for in-u concrete Carbon Cure in all concrete, which injects waste CO2 into fresh
Home Performance Index
At 8th Lock, Ballymore and its design team aimed to achieve The Home Performance Index Scheme (HPI) v2 certification. Traditionally, sustainabilitybased certifications target office tenants rather than individual units, but Ballymore chose HPI to demonstrate the quality and dedication invested in this project.
The HPI certification exemplifies a holistic approach to designing for people, going above and beyond regulations. This certification aligns with the ambitious vision of the 8th Lock project and has been widely adopted and highly successful.
Key areas of the HPI relevant to the end user include:
• Energy savings and economic assurances
• Environmental considerations from landscaping to waste management
• Health and wellbeing
• Quality assurance of the build.

Reddy A+U are frontrunners in use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) to foster innovation and deliver design excellence. Our approach and workflow ensures our designs are fully digital from concept through to completion.
Post-occupancy evaluation (e.g. carbon performance against targets)
Ongoing asset management, maintenace, replacement
Data Driven Design
We use BIM in the early stages of designing, site planning and feasibility studies, through visualisation, simulations, to specifications and construction drawings.
The developing BIM model provides us with live reporting of key metrics — quantum of units, the mix of units, ratio of dual aspect and oversized units, site density — while also considering key architectural concepts of site planning, massing, and the creation of places for people.
Information on material and thermal performance, cost, life cycle analysis, environmental impact and other relevant considerations are integrated into the design process.
This enables us to rapidly test multiple design options and provides the client with extensive insight into design development, operating costs, environmental impact, time schedule and other such metrics.
BIM: THE DIGITAL PROCESS
BETTER QUALITY, EFFICIENT DELIVERY
Environmental Design & Sustainability
Our BIM workflows enable us to evaluate the building’s impact on its environment, to understand impact in terms of light and weather at any time throughout the year, and to evaluate visual impacts of scale and massing, tailoring the presence of the building to its environment and assessing key sight lines and views.
We use Insight analysis to assess the impact of solar radiation on the balance between passive heating and overheating. Integration with daylight or wind consultants provides detailed daylight and wind microclimate analysis.
Collaboration & Coordination
Collaboration with clients, consultants and suppliers assists with coordination and facilitates clash detection, identifying critical interface issues before construction, and minimising the risks associated with redesign and over-estimation of cost.
We use Autodesk BIM 360 (Construction Cloud) as the main Common Data Environment (CDE) for the design team, facilitating coordination, clash detection and issue resolution during the design process, and greatly improving the quality of production information.
Design team models are federated using Autodesk Navisworks Manage, where a rule-based clash detection process is undertaken to identify areas that require further coordination.We lead design teams in the producton of coordinated information.

The future development of a new urban quarter at Sandy Road will focus on optimising brownfield and underutilised areas in order to deliver on the vision established in the Design Review.
The proposed development consists of a residential development of 148 units on the northwestern periphery of Galway City. The site is bounded by the Letteragh to the north and by existing residential developments to the south and east.
The site is bounded to the west by a reservation for the proposed N59 link road connecting the N6 to Rahoon and the west of Galway city which consists of undulating fields with rock outcrops.

A masterplan framework which sets out a road map for the future development of this nationally important urban regeneration project for the Port of Cork Company.
Reddy A+U, in collaboration with Tyrens, led an international design team to develop a masterplan framework for a new urban quarter in Cork. This plan will accommodate a population of 11,000 residents and a working population of up to 4,000, effectively creating a new town.
The development will be built in six phases over 20 to 25 years, in line with the relocation of port activities. The masterplan features a continuous public waterfront, optimising river transport and leisure potential.

Reddy A+U undertook the urban design and master planning of the site following a design competition. The team developed a masterplan which was to have a healthy mix of uses including educational, employment, residential, enterprise development, recreational and community uses.
Following on from the successful Masterplan, Reddy A+U developed the Brewhouse Building from design concept to completion, redeveloping and extending the old building into a new 6,500 m2 (21,325 sq ft) state of the art workplace facility. The former Brewhouse Building represents the single largest structure to be retained and reused in the Abbey Creative Quarter Site. The Brewhouse is a unique structure in terms of its industrial heritage and modernist qualities within the city of Kilkenny.

Our masterplan is rooted in sustainability and community cohesion, addressing Dublin's diverse needs through thoughtful design. There will be 850 new homes of various tenures, social housing, cost rental units, and affordable purchases.
The masterplan was developed with extensive community consultation in order to create a successful mixed tenure scheme that is integrated with the local neighbourhood. Our approach ensures inclusivity while prioritising placemaking. A new city park will have permeable connections with the surrounding urban areas and a neighbourhood centre will be provided at a key node in the masterplan.
