yeah there was massamann, not sure if its been shelved at this stage… i liked it.
here’s a link:
Thanks Peter. Yeah, unfortunately the Heneghan.Peng plan must be shelved, as I’m fairly sure that that is the site that the cranes are working on for the new court buildings. That’s a great shame, as I really liked the design they had come up with and I can’t see the government splashing out too much cash on new builds in the next few years. 🙁
There was a competition around 1999 or so for a new headquarters for the Dept of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht & the Islands (AHGI, not AGHI as it is on the HP website) on the site. More here.
This thread has gone dead – anyone have any idea of progress on the new courthouse, or even a few pics?
Does anyone have any pics of the new large Courts building currently under construction in the Phoenix Park?
Here’s a link to a render, top left pic.

Haven’t been down that way in a while so if anyone has any progress shots, please post !
….is this a McCullough Mulvin building? http://www.mcculloughmulvin.com/projects/ccc.html
Here’s one recent (distant) view from the RHK.
There’s a good view ot it from Victoria Quay, but I don’t have any pictures.
It’s probably at it’s most interesting about now with the raw concrete mass mostly up and before the cladding merchants have got at it.

10 stories in total … better shot of the outer skin below, quite like this overall … not so sure about the inner cladding.
I think the other point worth making is that this huge building is being built inside the Phoenix Park
City conservation officer: “Development within the curtilage of Phoenix Park and the Royal Imfirmary. Includes demolition of park wall…”
Also, planner’s report: “The proposal would entail the siting of a substantial built form in the south eastern extremity of the Phoenix Park…”
(DCC Ref No. 1375/07)
Thanks for that ct 😉 completion early next year i suppose …
I quite like the design. The route from the quays to the Phoenix Park entrance seems very dilapidated and it is in a good location. I look forward to seeing it finished.
This seems like a great design. Even though it’s ten storeys – it’s in a hollow so nowhere near as intrusive as it might be. This could lead to a genuine regeneration of lovely Parkgate Street, which has – as we’ve seen – become quite rundown.
Has anyone seen how big this building is? It’s huge, built without planning permission and built inside the park, they had to knock some of the park wall!!:mad:
