I was a big fan of this building, it was a good companion to the Carrolls/Nationwide building further along the canal. It’s a great shame it was razed, and that photo of its succesor is depressing. I wish I’d known sooner about this.
The model of the proposal really looks crap….too stunted and too cluttered. What a messy insignificent design. The 3 mugs …are they the architects…..more than likely it was designed around a pub table.

The old Pelican House while perhaps not the most loved building in Dublin was at least interesting. My old secondary school had definite design elements copied from it.
