Garland for 16 St Stephen’s Green.

The project comprised the restoration and redevelopment of no. 16 St Stephen’s Green; a four-storey Georgian Townhouse connected at the rear with a four-storey 1960s-built concrete framed office building. The consultants were C&S engineers and PSDP from project inception to building handover. Works included the conservation and repair of the protected structure. The 1960s rear block was partially demolished and subsequently redeveloped as a 7-storey office building. On a restricted city centre site, the project saw the sensitive restoration of the original Georgian townhouse connected via a new glazed bridge to the new office development to the rear. This included the restoration of damaged cantilevered limestone stairs. The completed scheme obtained an A3 BER rating as well as LEED Gold accreditation. This project represents an excellent example of how the existing historic street fabric of Georgian Dublin can be conserved and adapted for reuse.
