Anyone know what Building this is? It’s lovely. I know its near the Henry Street Garda Station.
I think that is the Riverside Gateway development, designed by Tom Philips and Associates and financed by Fordmount Properties. There was supposed to be a fifteen-storey tower, but I think it was reduced in planning (although the lift shaft under construction is about ten storeys, so that might be it).
I agree with Paul though; I can’t see any beauty in the building.I still think its a nice building.
Andrew, if it is the Riverside Gateway, what type of developement is this? I can find nothing about it when I search online.
all new buildings in Limerick have to come with red brick, it’s a rule!
Shouldn’t that be all new buildings in Ireland?
Anyway, this one is appalling.

irishtown, convince us…Convince you that it’s nice? No. Its all in opinion.
I think the glassed curved-corner is the best feature and I do like how the incorporated the brick. Its not too much, but it fits they building quite nicely, I’d say.
Oh my god – looking at it I could be on Clanbrassil/Patrick St, Arran Qy, or around Blackhall (with an extra few floors thrown in). Was Liam Carroll (sic) involved?!?
Mind you I’m sure it’s way better than what was there beforehand (esp if that brown brick thing next door is anything to go by)

I agree with Paul though; I can’t see any beauty in the building.I emailed the guy at Limerick.com and he said that the building under construction in that photo was to be one of the tallest in Limerick, so maybe it is that 15 storey tower after all.
another view of development, the tower is new, the block on the left is limericks answer to hawkins house recladded.

that building is pretty terrible. the use of brick over white render to give some perceived depth is very ugly, something like the jury’s on parnell street. 2/10.

QUOTE]Last time I looked, Tom Phillips and Associates were Town Planning Consultants. Is there another TPA that I’m not aware of? The practice is growing, and has an architect/planner in its employ, but I don’t think that building is one of theirs. They may have been the planning consultants for the project?
Anyone else want to take credit for it? :rolleyes:

Yes, I’m aware of those pictures…… as I emailed the developer and got them and uploaded them. 🙂
