Irish Georgian Society Awards

There was a great turnout at the Irish Architectural Archive last night for the Irish Georgian Society Awards, as Lindsay Conservation Architects scooped a deserved award for The Shelbourne Dublin, a Renaissance Hotel.

We were shortlisted for conservation works to the internal courtyard facades of GPO Witness History. It was lovely to see the diversity of entrants and judges, chaired by Edward McParland.

It was truly humbling to be shortlisted among so many outstanding entries, and it's also fantastic to see the steady growth of awareness of our built environment.

Merrion Hotel project

Our project on the redevelopment of The 5 Star Merrion Hotel in Dublin is coming along nicely, and is fitting well into the streetscape of Baggot Street.

With the project due to be completed soon, we are excited to see the reaction from patrons and the public.

GPO Witness History Interpretive Centre

This is a culturally significant project in one of Dublin's most iconic buildings on the city’s main thoroughfare, O’Connell Street. It was opened to the public last year for the 2016 centenary of the 1916 Rising. 

The high profile project involved the construction of a new exhibition centre within the restored courtyard of the GPO. The public engagement with the iconic GPO has been hugely enhanced with the opening of the new interpretive centre. We are proud to have been involved in this significant project.

Site Progress- Merrion Hotel

Work is advancing rapidly on construction of the new wing of The Merrion Hotel.  The multi-storey building addresses both the internal garden and Baggot Street.  Demolitions, subworks and basements are complete and upper floors are set to appear on the street and skyline over summer 2016.  The project is due for completion Easter 2017.  Watch here for further updates.
