Worst set back of all time? A hatchet job if ever there was one. The floor to ceiling arched windows on the bottom floor I wouldn’t begrudge them too much though https://t.co/3yFynqbMeW

Central Plaza, Dublin 2.
Including unGeorgian floor to ceiling windows on the ground floor.
A beautiful addition?
Or Pokémahone?

Aside from the fact that building only four-storeys in the middle of town is a joke, it looks nice enough.
when was that building built?
its been there for years… and aligns with all the other 4-story building on that stretch.
you’re a joke, rob
Well seeing as you ask I think it’s rather nice.
Quite Manhattan-ish.
Certainly a lot better than the monstrosities further down the road.
I presume Archidub would prefer something all glass shaped like a dog turd with see-through toilets on the outside.
wouldnt worry too much about the “unGeorgian” windows – that’s not even a Georgian building. it’s a fake/replica yoke built way later.
Replica or not, its a lot nicer looking than some of the modern crap that apsses for “architecture” these days.
for sure
my point is that altering the windows on the ground floor isnt a big deal as they’re not authentic anyway
hmm wonder what happens when the building beside it lights their fires
for a moment, thought you were suggesting buildings experienced sexual arousal – and that one next door was a particular sexy piece of architecture
FWIW
I think its great to see business’ bringing activity and workers into the City
I walk around the traditional office areas now
like Baggot Street/ Fitz Square, the Mount Streets, and they’re empty
Like from 2006 not just last year
One time you couldn’t see the footpaths for the crowds working there
and lines of people for sangwiches
or Friday night pints
And forget trying to find a car space then
no fear of it now
Spaces everywhere
Parkwest Citywest Eastpoint etc
All took people out of the City
anyway, just saying
Looks already compared to the recent trend of ikea style combinations of rectangles and squares that have destroyed the whole world and made every city look the same
Looks better than it was and you can engage with it now, previously it was just a box you passed
