Prometric is a leading provider of technology-enabled testing and assessment solutions to many of the world’s most recognized licensing and certification organizations, academic institutions, and government agencies.

Initially ALTU were engaged to undertake the due diligence process on this project, which included simultaneous programming and completion of Landlord works and plant resuscitation.

In order to meet the client’s challenging timeline, it made sense to utilize the acquired knowledge of the team that had worked on the due diligence and continue their involvement with the project.

Already familiar with the requirements for the fit-out and the design of the subject property, ALTU could act as a single point of contact and responsibility to the client.

Our BIM capabilities were used throughout the process to inform space planning, enable visualizations and assist scheduling, all of which facilitated prompt decision making in respect of finish selection, furniture layouts etc. The project was delivered within programme and budget.

This masterplan introduces a dynamic new residential quarter into the historic heart of Kilkenny City. Situated adjacent to the city’s existing military barracks, the project is a carefully considered apartment and duplex scheme that responds to its urban context with buildings ranging from three to five storeys.

The design prioritizes the creation of a high-quality living environment, with apartment clusters arranged to form intimate and sheltered courtyards for residents. These green spaces offer a sense of community and respite within the bustling city center.

Beyond its residential function, the scheme is a key piece of urban placemaking. It strategically connects to the existing cinema complex to the south, forging a new retail core and activating the streetscape. Furthermore, new pedestrian routes are created, linking the development westwards to Kilkenny’s main city area, seamlessly stitching the new quarter into the existing urban fabric and enhancing connectivity for the entire community.

Momentum is a company provides award-winning Soft Services to businesses and organisations based in UK and Ireland. They engaged ALTU to develop their new Headquarter premises in Dublin 12.

When they bought a disused 1970’s Warehouse fronting Naas Road at the Bluebell Luas Stop, a former distribution centre for Heineken, they engaged ALTU to redevelop it into their new Headquarters comprising office space, training facilities and a secure warehouse.

The existing fabric of the building was in poor repair, although tests on the Portal Steel Frame concluded that it was structurally sound. It was decided to strip the building fabric back to the portal frame, create a new two storey office and staff facilities block to the front of the building and a high bay warehouse to the rear.

A new highly insulated skin with large expanses of full height north facing curtain walling to the office areas and rooflights to the warehouse, maximised daylight while providing an energy efficient and pleasant working environment.

This masterplan envisions a new residential quarter located just west of the Kilkenny City ring road, offering a thoughtfully designed mix of low to medium-density housing. The scheme creates a varied and inviting neighbourhood character through the use of duplexes and cottage-style homes.

At the heart of the development is a new neighbourhood centre, incorporating a primary retail anchor and smaller units, positioned to become the social and commercial core of the community. A defining feature of the masterplan is the integration of a large, zoned open space, which serves as a significant public amenity. This elevated green space has been strategically designed to capture and frame panoramic views over the city, celebrating Kilkenny’s iconic Cathedral as a prominent landmark on the skyline.

The vision for the project is deliver a high quality working environment for those users that cannot locate in the city centre by reason of their nature, scale and type of business. The aim is to create a highly connected development providing for excellent linkage to the city centre via pedestrian and cycle links whilst also enhancing the amenity of the area with a connection to a future planned greenway proposed to the north of the site adjoining the River Shannon. It is currently envisaged that the development will be delivered in five phases. The phasing strategy is based on current market demand and expectations but could change dependent on future market conditions.

Strategically located adjacent to Tipperary Racecourse and the key transport hub of Limerick Junction train station, this comprehensive masterplan proposes a vibrant new residential quarter for the area. The design fosters a diverse community by integrating a thoughtful mix of low, medium, and high-density housing and apartments.

The scheme is carefully zoned, with the higher-density apartment buildings positioned along the main Limerick Road to create a strong and active urban edge. A defining feature of this forward-thinking masterplan is the inclusion of a dedicated later living housing area. This element ensures the development caters to all ages and life stages, promoting the creation of an inclusive, multi-generational, and lifelong neighbourhood.

This masterplan shapes a significant new residential quarter for Portlaoise, comprising over 800 new homes, with the first phase now nearing completion. The design responds adeptly to a geometrically complex land parcel and the constraints imposed by existing overhead cables.

Rather than being dictated by these challenges, the layout masterfully navigates them to create a series of distinct, community-focused pockets and green spaces. A key innovation in the scheme is the introduction of new house typologies, including a bespoke ‘edge house’. This new type is specifically designed to create a strong and active urban edge along the main road.

By cleverly concealing parking to the rear, the ‘edge house’ typology helps to prioritise the public realm, creating an attractive streetscape and fostering a distinctly pedestrian and cyclist-oriented scheme. The result is a cohesive and thoughtfully designed neighbourhood that transforms site constraints into placemaking opportunities.

Town Centre 3 (TC3) forms a key component of the wider Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone and is currently progressing as part of a live Expression of Interest process for DLR Properties. The masterplan was developed through an iterative urban design process focused on creating a high-density, sustainable and well-connected urban quarter that responds positively to the evolving character of Cherrywood. Particular emphasis was placed on placemaking, pedestrian connectivity, active frontages and the integration of residential density with high-quality public realm and transport infrastructure. The scheme carefully balances density, height, residential amenity and long-term deliverability while establishing a coherent and commercially viable framework for phased development.

The project further strengthened ALTU’s experience in large-scale masterplanning, phased urban delivery and the creation of sustainable high-density residential environments within complex strategic development frameworks.

This new housing development is located in Mullingar north of the centre of Mullingar. The housing development consists of ca. 95 no. residential units ranging in height from 2 no. to 3 no. storeys, comprising apartment building, duplex units and semi-detached houses, child care facility and open space areas.

The development is bordered by the greenway to the Northeast and offers local residents a great amenity space. The greenway has a Canal walk that connects the new housing to Martin’s Lane via a footbridge.

The newly planned road frontage and streetscape plays an important role in the public realm strategy with proportionally high buildings on both sides and wide cycle- and footpath along the road. The central open space creates a focal point in the public realm sustaining a distinctive sense of place with different character areas. Home zones give different public realm experiences with more pedestrian-friendly spaces and direct connections to the green open spaces.

This ambitious masterplan proposes a transformative new marina destination to the west of Kilrush town centre. The scheme envisions a vibrant, mixed-use waterfront quarter, integrating new residential and residential care facilities, commercial and tourism spaces, a hotel, and a dedicated watersports area.

A core principle of the design is its sensitive response to a complex and historic context. The masterplan carefully navigates the site’s proximity to a number of protected structures and addresses the technical challenges of a coastal flood risk zone. Central to the proposal is the creation of a new green waterfront connection, which provides a significant public amenity and seamlessly links the new development to the existing town. The result is a resilient and cohesive vision for a year-round destination that respects Kilrush’s heritage while unlocking the full potential of its unique coastal setting.
