Yesterday.
Dublin 1.
Dramatic additions to Beresford Place: a phalanx of apparently Leyland Cypresses has been parachuted by Dublin City Council (parks biodiversity) into the crescent that encircles the Custom House, lending a Roman formality to its 1780s south front. Such confident investment is rare, startling and welcome.
Meanwhile…
The tree line appears to carefully maintain views to the north portico while preserving the relationship between it and Gandon’s consciously designed terrace of houses opposite. Yew may have been a better choice, but the ability to withstand pollution may have been the decider.
