Re: Re: High Rise Building

Indeed but it’s difficult to imagine the city without this landmark

Shane everything you say is true and well put, but this is Hawkin’s House we;re talking about. It, along with Apollo House, is nothing more than an oul office block with little archiectural merit. It’s treatment of Tara Street and Poolbeg street is disgracelful for a central area not a stone’s throw from TCD and BoI. This entire block should be redeveloped, with new ground floor uses to create what, in effect, will be new streets opened up to the city. It’s an awful part of town that should be great
