Douglas Wallace were not the architects responsible for the Bailey Point development in Galway. The architect responsible was actually Architectural Design Technology. Douglas Wallace were employed in the latter stages of the project by the developer and then, following the developer going into receivership, by the receiver KPMG. Douglas Wallace’s brief in both instances was to resolve both planning compliance and legal ownership/certification issues.

Here is the Bailey Point building in Salthill by Douglas Wallace (designed many many years ago I believe!). It should have opened about 3 years ago but has been beset by problems from the start. It will eventually accommodate a multi screen cinema in the basement, bar, restaurant, nightclub and lots and lots of apartments. I’d say the view from those penthouses is pretty amazing!
Yeah i think it is in Donnybrook (?) – I remember hearing last year that almost every apartment and house on the site were bought straight from plans. No bad going considering they were all in the millions price-wise.
I have a nephew in Drogheda who was in Scotch Hall on the day it opened and said that it has been the highlight of their year! Maybe teh planners will be a bit kinder about the proposed tower now..Edward Holdings and Douglas Wallace have to be the most visionary developer/architectural teams going at teh moment
if anybody knows the height of the Four Courts (ground level to top of the dome) could you please email me on nigeldugdale@hotmail.com
Cheers
