Modern Multi-block office development, Dublin
- Location: Dublin
- Architect: Henry J Lyons
- Contractor: John Sisk & Sons
Project Overview
Elevating Design and Functionality in Dublin’s Georgian Quarter. This landmark development in Dublin’s historic Georgian Quarter comprises three Grade A office buildings, created with the ambition to revitalise the area and provide a vibrant, modern workspace. The design places a strong emphasis on community, sustainability and heritage, delivering a contemporary multi-storey office environment that blends seamlessly with its prestigious surroundings near Fitzwilliam Square.
Each building stands independently above ground while being connected below via a shared basement containing essential facilities including car parking, bicycle storage and modern changing facilities. The development successfully balances architectural innovation with respect for Dublin’s Georgian character, combining timeless aesthetics with modern functionality.
