Located in the heart of Ireland’s capital, Apollo House is a short walk from the River Liffey and Trinity College. The original structure on the site earned the unfortunate title of Dublin’s ugliest building and within this context, the practice was invited to join the team to create a new, mixed used development providing valuable office and residential accommodation. Amid a sensitive city centre setting and working closely with the project architects, the team’s Landscape and Visual Assessment skills played a pivotal role in securing planning consent for the 21 storey building. Furthermore, high quality soft and hard landscape design is now ensuring the best possible integration with its urban setting, while providing attractive spaces for future tenants.
Mixed use development is a key component of successful city centres and Apollo House, Dublin, demonstrates the valuable role The Paul Hogarth Company can play in achieving high quality outcomes.
Following planning approval by Dublin City Council and An Bord Pleanála, we contributed to the public realm design. Levels and accessibility were key to the design solution along with bespoke elements to ensure it respected the historic features, while also incorporating contemporary materials.
Upon completion, of this commercial office development and residential tower with a combined height of up to 21 storeys, it is the tallest habitable building in the Republic of Ireland.
We would be delighted to hear from you and to discuss your ideas.
