    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.

    Well at least Pelican House sat comfortably on it’s spot/area…I don’t think the new proposal will do the same looking at the model. Maybe I’m wrong
