Project Description
Supply & install of motorised commercial blinds.
ACMEblinds was selected as the trusted provider of motorised blinds for One Albert Quay, Ireland’s flagship sustainable office development. Designed by award-winning architects Henry J. Lyons, this iconic project features a striking glazed façade that reflects modernity while prioritizing energy efficiency and occupant comfort. As one of Ireland’s most prestigious commercial developments, One Albert Quay set a new benchmark in Irish architecture by blending innovation with sustainability.
Our motorised blinds were custom-engineered to meet the building’s unique requirements, including precise natural light management, glare reduction, and enhanced energy performance. These advanced shading solutions play a crucial role in maintaining the balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal, seamlessly supporting the building’s goal of achieving a B1 BER Certificate and Gold LEED Precertification. By incorporating cutting-edge design and technology, our blinds contribute not only to occupant comfort but also to the overall energy efficiency of this landmark development.
At ACMEblinds, collaboration is at the heart of every project. For One Albert Quay, our team worked closely with the architects and project stakeholders to ensure a seamless integration of our blinds with the building’s innovative design and operational goals. The result is a shading system that perfectly complements the sleek, modern interiors while meeting the highest standards of sustainability.
This project reinforces ACMEblinds’ position as a leading provider of innovative shading solutions for world-class developments. Our expertise in delivering custom solutions for energy-conscious projects makes us the trusted partner for companies looking to enhance their buildings with premium, functional design.
