Technologies and Systems
Defining tomorrow's sustainability today.
The redevelopment of Shed 1 will integrate advanced renewable energy, water stewardship, urban food production, adaptive architecture, and seismic resilience to create a living showcase of sustainable design. Working alongside innovators mentioned below, the building itself becomes an attraction, where visitors can experience how heritage redevelopment can lead a low-carbon, future-focused waterfront.
Solar Energy
Building-integrated photovoltaic glass systems will transform parts of the façade and roofing into clean energy generators, producing renewable electricity while maintaining the architectural character and natural light within SHED 1.
Wind Energy
Aerodynamic, bladeless wind technology will be considered to capture wind energy efficiently and silently, supporting on-site renewable power generation suitable for urban waterfront environments.
Water Stewardship
Efficient water management and heat-exchange technologies will reduce resource consumption, improve energy recovery, and support sustainable water use across hospitality, accommodation, and public spaces.
Aeroponics Systems
Vertical aeroponic growing systems will enable fresh herbs and produce to be cultivated on-site using minimal water and no soil, supporting local food production and a sustainable culinary supply for the venue.
Retractable and adaptable architectural systems will allow spaces to open, close, and transform depending on weather and events, enhancing the usability of the waterfront environment year-round.
Seismic Strengthening
Comprehensive seismic upgrades will reinforce the historic structure of SHED 1, ensuring safety, resilience, and compliance with modern engineering standards while preserving its heritage value.
Design and Fit-Out
Internationally recognised hospitality designers will deliver a world-class Irish-inspired venue experience, blending authentic craftsmanship, contemporary design, and a vibrant social atmosphere aligned with the vision for SHED 1.
