Project Overview

This most prestigious project has been realised by transforming a mediocre seventies office block into a quality contemporary building which will set the standard for the regeneration of this corner of St. Stephens Green.

The building has been designed using a restrained simple approach to the cladding design which carefully respects the existing street scape, the most varied on the Green.

The concept for the façade design to St. Stephens Green resulted from a study of nearby buildings particularly the Convent on the west side of the building which has a simple brick façade, as a result it was decided to modulate the building using the historic plot widths of the original buildings on the Green using on a prominently glazed expression with a double skin curtain wall system. This has an integrated lighting system which will enliven the building at night.

The main entrance is strongly articulated with a double height porch finished in a simple palette of quality materials, honed granite and structural glazing with a feature glazed canopy and recessed lighting. This lobby when viewed from the inside enables framed views of the Green, dramatic views are possible also from the deeply set back upper floors which overlook St. Stephens Green, The Iveagh Gardens and to the Dublin Mountains beyond.
