Out of the ordinary. Moving towards future.
We propose a building able to express the dynamism of a modern town and the bent of present-day men and women towards new balance models. The tower dramatically tilting towards the Liffey River is meant as an original element standing out from the strictly orthogonal urban landscape. An exception proving the rule, emphasising confidence in technology, a symbol of the traditional Irish courage.

The platform
The ground floor and first floor are intended for a restaurant/bar/night club with private lifts and staircases. The ground floor also holds the U2's private garage. A separate entrance leads to the lift directly connecting the last two floors, where the recording studios are planned.
The second and third floor can be reserved for offices and/or residential uses according to requirements.

The basement
The basement holds private parking places for a total of 11 cars and the main service rooms. A ramp leads directly from Britain Quay to the garages.

The tower element
The standard floors of the tower are provided with vertical connections positioned on the eastern and western sides with central lift shafts. The residential units include one-room, two-room and three-room flats with spacious balconies. The standard floor consists of flats with various sizes measuring 26, 30, 32, 36, 38, 52, 69 and 72 square metres. The largest apartments are placed along the north and south fronts enjoying eastward and westward views, too. Thanks to the flexible open plan, there is a wide range of possible different layouts.

The U2 Studio
The studios of the band are located on the upper two floors of the tower. The glass curtain walls running all around the studios offer a spectacular 360-degree view. The penultimate floor of the tower has direct access to the terraces and balconies running all around it.

The architectural image
The tower's plan follows the shape of the site. Thanks to this shape it is possible to make the most of the area's building potential optimising the available space (11,008 square metres). The volume consists of a glass-faced prism tilted northwards and marked by balconies on all sides. The east and west fronts are characterised by projecting balconies supported by two bearing abutments faced with aluminium panels and connecting at their tops, thus forming a sort of large aileron that frames the northern façade.
