Wexford Opera House

Click Here to Download   Based in Wexford’s High Street the Wexford Opera House was originally built in the 18th Century and acted as a social and cultural centre in Wexford. In 2006 the original Theatre Royal building was demolished, redesigned and rebuilt to accommodate a growing demand in the area for opera. The only remaining part of the building left standing was 33-35 High Street. The main design objective for the High Street was the conservation of the traditional streetscape. Marvin Architectural technicians worked closely with Keith Williams Architects to maintain the original streetscape. Marvin Architectural’s Heritage Sliding Sash windows were specified to replace the original windows. O.P.W and Keith Williams Architects recognised that Marvin’s luxury brand reputation and Marvin Architectural’s 15+ years experience in supplying and installing customised windows for sensitive historical replacement projects made them the ideal choice for this landmark project. To recreate the authentic feel of the streetscape Marvin used their trademark Made for You© windows. Aesthetically it was an accurate historical replication with its crafted wood profiles and depth of meeting rail, stiles, glazing bars of 22mm, sash horns and Fully Factory Finished. The Low-E Glazing meant the building met New Energy Efficiency Regulations while maintaining the original style of the windows. In total Marvin custom crafted 60+ windows for the Wexford Opera House. Testimonials Christopher Shepherd of Cleary Doyle said "everything went as planned. I am very happy with the Marvin product" Richard Brown of Keith Williams Architects commented ‘the windows worked out very well. I was happy with the project. The Marvin Rep was very responsive and very helpful. The detailed drawings supplied by Marvin helped all parties concerned to agree on window specifics.
