Parkgate Street
Sitting on the north side of Dublin’s River Liffey and within walking distance of the city centre and Pheonix Park, this 30-storey residential tower will be the city’s tallest building when complete. Working in collaboration with Reddy Architecture & Urbanism, our challenge was to help unlock the opportunity for a marker building on this former brownfield site.
The unique triangular shape of the site has allowed us to create an elegant building form with 198 apartments. The façade’s deeply sculpted stone fins will provide excellent solar shading and, when coupled with 100% natural ventilation, will create highly sustainable homes.
At street level, our design will bring life to the public realm by reviving the southern side of Parkgate Street, opening up a previously inaccessible part of the river, and delivering Dublin’s first riverside public open space, a south-facing plaza with views over the Liffey.
