McNally Design International, has just completed the redesign and fit out of all the public areas in the departure terminal of Cork International Airport.

McNally Design and its sister company, McBuild, were responsible for the total design and installation of the Jack Lynch VIP centre and lounge, Food Courts, bars, restaurants and coffee outlets.

Its branding consultancy department designed all graphics, logos and signage throughout the departure terminal. The project is believed to have cost in the region of €5.8m and took six months to complete.

The contemporary designed Thady Quill Sports Bar took its influences from other local references including well-known local sporting celebrities.

The renowned historical English Market in Cork city influenced the central design theme of the Food Market and its grand entrance of dramatic double height scale large decorative metal gates. The market space is defined by a series of traditional wooden arches on decorative steel columns, leading to the food service area, which is crowned by a decorative metalwork dome. The theme behind the Red Bar is a celebration of Cork and Munster’s great sporting traditions and heroes in Hurling, Gaelic Football, Athletics, Soccer, Rugby.

The wonderfully inviting “Maher’s Coffee” and “Lir Café” outlets features decorative awnings above a timber coffee counter topped with warm golden honey colour granite, complimenting the flooring.

The Jack Lynch Business Lounge is a contemporary modern lounge and meeting facility designed to provide the business traveller with a tranquil, peaceful and pleasant hi tech space to relax in while waiting on flights. Lounge seating comprises sumptuous leather sofas and contemporary wing chairs upholstered in burgundies, purples and olive and muted lime greens.

The construction challenge was to work in a busy Airport environment where onerous health and safety compliance was necessary and strict rules of contractual procedures and coordination with the airport authority were applied throughout the six months. McBuild led the team of architects, mechanical and electrical, cost management and food and beverage consultants.
