Exterior view · Visualisation: 3XN
Expressive arches open the ground floor to the adjacent square and streets, marking the public realm and creating an active frontage. The motif continues inside, with the raw materiality of the base: refined rawness.
The apartment hotel lobby opens from the riverfront as part of the public ground floor. From the reception on the fourth floor, guests step onto a lush terrace with views of the river.

01
Brick
The brick façade pays homage to Dublin's industrial past and improves solar performance: deep horizontal and vertical panels block the high midday and low morning and afternoon sun.
02
Refined rawness
Small modular bricks form the smooth vaulted soffits of the arcade and the deep vertical sunshades. Their warm tone sits well with the green verandas and winter gardens.
Elevations
03
A sense of place
A distinct identity draws people in and makes them stay. Ever-changing visual links connect the spaces, from intimate meeting rooms to grand double-height atriums.
04
The tower
Every unit gets an outdoor balcony. The shifting floor plates make the tower porous, limiting wind down-draft and keeping the ground level comfortable.
