New design for landmark city scheme on Georges Quay site

The Irish Independent

The high-rise scheme mooted by international architects Skidmore Owings & Merill which was rejected by An Bord Pleanala has been substituted by the KMD Architecture design which has previously acquired planning permission. The current KMD Architecture design has had the glazing of the original design changed. The dark windows initially proposed have been replaced by lighter colour glazing, resulting in a much more transparent effect. The development is scheduled to be completed in 18 months.
