Dublin, Ireland - Competition - 2nd Prize (2010) with Raymond McGinley Architects

The buildings within the master plan are conceived as shards of glass or rock crystals emerging from the landscape and composed of three ‘fingers’ or wings allowing the building to be naturally ventilated. All three fingers are four stories in height and sit on a podium, under which is contained a two levels car parking. The building achieves a BER rating of ‘A3’ as a result of careful sustainable design. The positioning on the site is designed to minimise site coverage and create an ‘edge’, fronting the road. This idea is reinforced by the siting of two slender office blocks on the southern site boundary. The civic park connects to the north public park by a new foot bridge proposed as part of our master plan.
