Belvedere House
O’Herlihy Access Consultancy (OHAC) was engaged by Belvedere College S.J to prepare a Disability Access Certificate Application (DAC) for essential maintenance, upgrading and remedial works at Belvedere House. The building is a protected structure located on Denmark Street Great and is recognised as an outstanding example of 18th Century Dublin architecture.
The proposed works necessitated a number of material alterations which would affect Part M of the building regulations.
Owing to its protected status it is necessary to adapt the house in a sensitive manner to the changing legislative and functional requirements which now exist and this had to be taken into consideration when researching and advising the client and architects.
The DAC was successfully granted in December 2012 without conditions
