They look particularly hideous – and the prices €370000? That’s over €120,000 for each window. What a shame this got through planning – Henry St. was developing a somewhat respectable character, with a few exceptions, until now.
Indeed, I would have to agree with you, especially when the developer has such a great site and then having the Foreign Affairs Department as a client. They don’t fit to each other!
Quite a contrast to the new Hartstonge Gate / River Stone House development next door, NMA have in my opinion, have sucessfully restored this 3 storey Georgian House in a charming modern way.

Construction of a pedestrian access and ancillary maintenance works to the archway at Hartstonge St. Excavation and construction of a basement car park on the site, to include the widening of Savins Lane and the provision of a through road from Savins Lane to Hartstonge St. via the Archway, Hartstonge St., a Protected Structure.
Out of sight, out of mind!
The image in the attatchment shows up how poorly the Georgian Houses are maintained to the rear of Hartstonge Street.
