I’ll need my black polo neck, black rimmed glasses and stylishly grey hair for this one.
Ring Mountjoy, Graham Dwyer must have a few spare black polo necks not getting much wear these days.
Yes, Mr. T, ’cause only pretentious architects should have an opinion on the design of the built environment. You’re only gas altogether.
I love how it has echoes of Hawkin’s House.
So Derelicte.
I like it and I’m not a hipster, at least I don’t think so, checks mirror nervously
It will just remind us of how ugly that part of the city was
This lazy facadism hasn’t been given planning, has it?
The proposals for Bolands Mills look pretty lazy too.
With all the money sloshing around can we really not ensure some small proportion is spent on procuring a decent design?
The top photo can’t be from today (literally) as the apartment building on the right has already been demolished. Here’s a shot of it from the 24th of August.
Sorry. The link didn’t work for some reason. Here it is below

i love that little old church.
new things looks horrible.
Truly and utterly pathic.
The planners have literally zero vision, it’s another Lansdowne Road debacle.
Building to the rear is not great but with the scale of the retained facade it would be near impossible to create something interesting.
If the architects had any imagination they could take inspiration in this building – https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearst_Tower_(Manhattan)
AutoCAD + poured concrete frame + off-the-shelf cladding = win.
What utter scutter.
Do or do not, there is no “that’s grand”.
Well, we do need more offices to serve as the legally registered headquarters for multinationals
It could easily be done without that lazy ‘entrance way’ is the point.
It doesn’t cost much extra to insist on some semblance of decent design.
Somehow the builders/developers have convinced the Irish establishment that decent engineering/design/masterplanning is all an expensive faff.
That site will make a lot of money for those involved. There was absolutely no reason the planners could not have insisted on a thoughtful design instead of that lazy sh!te.
I don’t mind the facade, but the building itself is so awful and lazy, I can imaging them CTRL-V ing any one of ten thousand buildings from low end business parks next to secondary airports from anywhere in the world, and then adding the weird protrusion to the front.
If you want to keep the facade as a design constraint, fair enough, but at least incorporate it into the design, not work around it
Also, why let anyone build a 5 story building in the docklands? Surely they could go to 20 stories and also include accomodation
more ‘baby we’re back’ craic. seeing a few of these big shiny dumps poppin up around the place. why not re-do all the empty ones left behind from the recession? just takin up more room. same with the housing .. dont wanna use this word.. crisis. they say they urgently need to build X amount of houses to meet demand, yet there’s apartment blocks and estates lyin around completely unused. i really hate how dumb this country is at times.
