I have no photos, but the corner of the new dunnes building on Georges st/Stephen st is starting to look very well now with the hoarding down.
The new retail areas on georges st and stephen st on the ground floor, should provide that part of the street with some well needed new life.The real problem i have with this project is its context.
It may have worked much better as a beautiful object in a field with its long axis actually pointing at something of note. Instead the axis now seems quite arbitrary pointing to the hotel behind and with the route between the two main buildings blocked to pedestrian by the ramp area.On the other hand, it is a beautifully detailed and engineered building of great merit. Its just a shame the inventive detail did not follow further to deal with its urban context.
