Re: Re: Preserving Modern Dublin?

Re Herbert Street, I agree. Christine Casey’s Guide notes that it “is an astonishing pseudo-Art Deco office building of c. 1999 by James O’Connor of Arthur Gibney & Partners, vivid white, giant pilasters, bronze-coloured window aprons and incised linear ornament.”

O’Connor has of course since gone on to do other worthwhile schemes, not least of which are the conservation projects on Joyce’s Dead House on the quays, and also St George’s with its beacon-like restored spire at Hardwicke Place 🙂
