2007 – Digital Hub Proposal, Thomas Street, Dublin

A mixed-use development and re-generation of an entire city block in the Liberties, the Digital Hub was intended to become the international centre for digital media business in Ireland. The scale and nature of the proposal aimed to provide a western counterpoint to the eastern expansion of the city, while taking inspiration from the former industrial centre of the city in the Guinness buildings and Rainsford Street in particular. A total area of c. 60,000 sq m comprises office (47,000 sq m), retail, café, bar, restaurant, and residential use buildings along with extensive refurbishment and re generation of the existing protected structures on the c.1.1 hectare site.
