These three buildings in Briarhill Business Park, are located 4km from the centre of Galway City. They have ground and first floor levels with a floor-to-floor height of 6.300m which allows for the future addition of a mezzanine level. The buildings is divided into units of various sizes which allow a good mix of uses from small 'start-up’s to large 'bulky retailing'. 

The cladding materials of glazing, curtain walling and metal sheeting are the materials used throughout this industrial area. The structural steel frame has precast concrete slabs to the first floor. The concrete sheer walls around the stair core are cantilevered at first floor level and can be used to hang the display boxes off. The angle of the glazing on these display boxes address the longer sight lines within the business park.
