Location: Dublin, Ireland.

Architect: O’Mahony Pike Architects.

Capital Dock is a development located on a peninsula between Grand Canal Dock and the River Liffey. The layout has been carefully planned to create a unique urban quarter with high-quality public spaces and exemplary building designs. The development includes three residential buildings, three office blocks, and a pavilion building on the waters’ edge. The public spaces are a sheltered square surrounded by buildings and a large open park with views of the water. The public realm is activated by social, café, and cultural uses located on the ground and first floors. The buildings are designed as strong, simple forms, taking reference from the traditional industrial architecture of the docklands. The residential units are adaptable and flexible, providing for the changing needs of their occupants, including families with children. All apartments have generous, private winter-garden spaces, and access to shared roof terraces. The tenant amenity spaces include a concierge facility, gymnasium, cinema, residents lounge, and business suites.
