Current Landmark Project

The last few months most of my time at work has been consumed in trying to get documents together, in conjunction with another architecture firm, for the redevelopment of an entire pier in Dun Laoghaire, a city just outside Dublin. The competition was held several years ago and the winning design is Proposal D. The other architects, Heneghan Peng, have been great to work with, and it was also nice to hear another American accent that I could understand very clearly and we could have the rest of the room wondering what the heck we were talking about.



There is a derilict building on the pier right now which would be removed. Then two residential towers would be built on top of an aquarium, retail shops and a large carpark. The whole thing is glass so there are uninterrupted views of the Irish Sea and the harbour. Ben and I went out there on a windy, rainy day and grabbed a few shots, and even in the dreariest weather, it still is a good site. Here is a link to see some more of the competition drawings. I would love to see this project completed!
