Fully accessible public facilities for county council parks and coastal locations — built to serve everyone, and to take a battering.
Public amenity buildings work harder than almost any other building type: open to everyone, in all weathers, with no caretaker on site. Ours are specified accordingly — vandal-proof standing seam roofs, reinforced doors, non-touch sensor taps, anti-slip floors — and finished in materials that belong in a park: cedar, timber and traditional plaster.
For Fingal County Council we delivered four public amenity buildings for parks including Newbridge Demesne, each containing five universal access WCs, a Changing Places facility, a ranger's room and a service room. Where sites allow, buildings are set into the ground so no access ramps are needed — accessibility built into the section, not bolted on. Solar photovoltaic arrays contribute to running costs, and each building meets NZEB standards.
The relationship has endured: Fingal engaged Lidan again in 2026 for works to the welfare facility at Santry Demesne.
