McKelvey Construction’s transformation of Derry/ Londonderry’s iconic Ebrington military site into a four-star luxury hotel is a triumph of craftsmanship, heritage preservation and vision. The multi-million-pound redevelopment breathed new life into five derelict listed buildings - including the site’s commanding clocktower, combining painstaking conservation with high-spec design. The result is a showpiece destination complete with 90 ensuite rooms, a spa, pool, bars and conference facilities. Behind the polish lies extraordinary leadership from the site team’s dedication, including a hand-built wooden model of the hotel now on display, to the company’s commitment to community impact. Six apprentices were hired during construction and over 100 full-time hospitality jobs created post-completion. T: +44 (0)28 8167 0586
A much-loved 1960s family bungalow on the shores of Bangor has been transformed with care, creativity and a deep respect for memory. At the client’s request, every effort was made to retain sentimental features - even as the home was extended, rewired, replastered and modernised. The standout feature is a spectacular 10mx2.5m corner picture window, framing panoramic views of Belfast Lough. Meanwhile, a 12mx5m elevated deck was constructed on a steep, inaccessible slope using specialist stainless-steel ground screws - all without the aid of machinery. The result is a home that’s brighter, more functional and just as personal as ever.
