Wow. I think the gasworks site is fantastic! It’s perhaps one of the best examples of urban redevelopment I’ve ever seen. The Courtyard looks absolutely Superb. The contractor/architect behind this development should be assigned to more developments all over the country. Great Stuff!
Architects were O’Mahony Pike. They’re not messers.
so apparently there was somebody on liveline today giving out about the fact that he bought an apartment here but now the empty ones are being let out to DIT students for 150 a week…

Shocking – vacant apartments in Dublin being rented out – how bizarre
Did the caller just have a problem with students or something
150 a week each for 2 people sharing a twin room, with 2 rooms in each apartment.
over on thepropertypin they reckon it’s so he can write it off as a section 23 job.
that rent is e2,400 a month, significantly more than the ones in the rest of the development. Students getting screwed by landlords, it could never happen 🙂
so like 4 people to an apartment?
Well that’s a bit clearer – if they pay that much they deserve to be screwed over
I doubt anyone will pay that much to be honest, there’s some sort of scam going on here.
Maybe it’s to get back at those who objected to the Hotel plan?Reference for the rental prices I quoted earlier:

lol
Wilkinson Eyre have a similar, larger scale gasometer, residential proposal in London:
Could something like what MVRDV did on that silo in Copenhagen be applied to the Bolands Mill structure? Dotting cantilevered glass box embellishments to the outside of the building and maintaining the impressive mass of the concrete structure
Here’s the Wilkinson Eyre one (stupid Flash websites – so beloved of architecture firms – that don’t allow linking):
PTB posted images of the Copenhagen project on the previous page.
Cheers ctesiphon. How do you get around the Flash to copy and paste?
um… so are the apartments rented out in the gasometer or in the general development?
if it’s the gasometer – LOL! hate to be someone who purchased in one of the more mundane buildings to have students looking down on them 😉

Good question. AFAIK the apartments are in the gasometer only, and I heard that anyone who had a deposit down was being refunded. I dread to think of a Sat night/Sunday morning with various revellers shouting down at various parties on internal balconies!
Maybe it’s just a plot to get the students to frighten those with signed contracts into accepting a refund??:eek:@Landarch wrote:

Print screen, copy image into e.g. Paint, trim to remove traces of my identity (;)), save to image website (Photobucket, ImageShack, Flickr, etc.) and link to that image. Not exactly user-friendly, but Flash websites bring out the stubborn git in me. 😀

They were refunded years ago. Carroll owns all of the apartments in the gasometer itself
This is such a Trojan Horse to get people to drop objections to the hotel.
I.e. give us our hotel or we give you students
