Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2000 / March 10 2000: Spencer Dock architect is ready to lower his sights

Mr Kevin Roche, the architect who has designed the Spencer Dock scheme, said yesterday at the Bord Pleanála hearing: "I am not a height-freak. I have always wanted to keep this as low as possible". "It is not an absolutely vital feature of this design. I would be happy to concede," he said. Parts of the proposed scheme reach 95 metres - about 36 metres higher than the city's present tallest building, Liberty Hall.
