The high standards continue into the garden. Residents of Hanover Quay are lucky enough to be able to enjoy a communal garden designed by one of Europe’s best garden designers – Diarmuid Gavin.
Working with O’Mahony Pike we are proud to say that we have raised the standard of apartment design and finish in Dublin.

In reviewing redevelopment options for our Barrow Street site two particular challenges presented; how to deal with:-
The long northern boundary which addresses existing low level housing How to integrate the Alliance gas holder frame, which is a listed structure
The architects responded to both challenges with an urban design of imagination and flair.
The east – west axis of the central concourse facilitated the successful orientation of the taller blocks on a north/ south axis – mitigating the impact of the taller buildings on the existing neighbourhood. The long facades of the taller buildings were curved to ease their impact.
The use of a glazed cylinder to infill the Alliance gasholder frame provides a simple but effective backdrop to the frame.
The red frame contrasts well against the glass backdrop and the frame has thus been retained as an iconic local landmark.
This building also acts as a focal point within the development. Our architects worked well with us in evolving construction strategies to suit the use of modular façade elements, thus simplifying and easing the construction process.
We are very please with the completed development.
