Re: Re: Laughter Lounge – Eden Quay

It probably would have been better to take the approach of the recent Henry J Lyons façade which adjoins the Corn Exchange on Burgh Quay opposite. This building contrasts quite well with the Corn Exch. & red brick houses when you are on Burgh Quay itself. But although the parapet height respects the scale of the quay, it has several setback stories piled up behind, so it doesn’t work so well when seen from the other side of the river. But at least there is a modern idiom – the new yoke on Eden Quay isn’t one thing or the other….Parnell St. architecture!

The “hanging silver box” is the building adjoining the pub, which has an underpass into an alley.
