office

Detached multiple-bay single-storey ramp and office building, built 1962, having four-bay single-storey block to south and four-bay single-storey extension to east. Cantilevered sloping concrete roof doubling as ramp, flat roof to south and east blocks. Roughcast rendered walls having render pilasters. Square-headed openings having fixed windows and concrete sills. Square-headed openings with overlights over timber battened double-leaf doors to east elevation. Square-headed opening with overlight, now blocked up, over timber battened double-leaf doors to west elevation. Square-headed openings with overlight and half-glazed timber panelled double-leaf doors to east.

This ramp cum office structure is a fascinating example of mid-twentieth century design and forms an integral part of the Cork Dockyard associated buildings. The cantilevered and sloped concrete roof is a functional and aesthetic feature, which gives the building an unusual and striking silhouette.
