Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2 SIR JOHN ROGERSON’S QUAY, DUBLIN 2 THE DOCKLANDS RE-IMAGINED 80,000 sq ft of exceptional office space, blending original warehouse features with spectacular modern architecture and design. Overlooking the water and located in the centre of Dublin’s docklands, home to the most successful and innovative global companies. 1 WHERE GLASS MEETS WATER A reflective design connecting innovation with history, the Tropical Fruit Warehouse is a truly unique office environment which has been crafted to maximise views over the River Liffey and Dublin’s skyline. 2 3 ‘A SENSE OF FLOATING ABOVE THE RIVER’ PAUL O’BRIEN, HENRY J LYONS ARCHITECTS ‘ The unique context of the site provided an opportunity to create an architectural set-piece – a contrast of old and new. The resulting design is a composition consisting of interconnecting rectangular buildings, a grounded historical warehouse building beneath, and a modern, cantilevered floating structure above. The modern building is an uncompromising design of a ‘twin skin’ full glass box envelope, with a view out over the bridge. Externally, the glass box facades create the sense of a transparent ‘jewel’ floating above the heavier masonry facades of the historic warehouse below. Internally, the views out of the floors give a sense of floating above the river.’ 4 5 HISTORIC TIMELINE Marine School Founded for the education of the orphans and children of distressed seamen, the Marine School sat on River God Keystones 1766 the site of the Tropical Fruit Warehouse. The two granite figureheads representing Anna Livia and Atlantic that hang over the doors of the Tropical Fruit Warehouse are the original keystones taken from the old Carlisle Bridge (the structure predating O’Connell Bridge) in 1870. 1870 The Tropical Fruit Company 1892 Built in the 1890s, the warehouse BUILDING ON was home to the Dublin Tropical Fruit Company who occupied the premises U2 Headquarters for decades to follow.

Warehouse to become a new iconic 2021 landmark for Dublin. 6 7 INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION An inspirational working environment that prioritises employee wellbeing and promotes teamwork. Bright, open interiors provide innovative spaces that improve collaboration and help to drive productivity. 8 9 The impressive reception, with 7.2m floor to ceiling height, offers high permeability to the office space beyond and a subtle link between the warehouse and modern spaces. 10 11 The two storey glazed panels create a seamless elevation which has been designed to create a floating, light-filled effect over the original warehouse and river below. The imposing Scots Pine trusses will be restored by specialists and re-used for the next generation. Original Marine School walls from 1766 merge with the contemporary steel and exposed concrete design. 12 13 Two fully glazed office floors cantilever over the warehouse below, providing panoramic views of the River Liffey. 14 15 SOCIAL NETWORK SOCIAL NETWORK A vibrant, landscaped pedestrian walkway envelops the building and links the river-front with Whitaker Square, creating social spaces centred around an artist studio and cafe space. 16 17 1.

  • From Alternative to Mainstream
    CHAPTER 1 From Alternative to Mainstream Alternatives Ascending Foreword The specter of market volatility brought on by large-scale events, such as global pandemic- related lockdowns in early 2020, has had a strong influence on investor approaches to their portfolios. Investors are responding by building resilience into their portfolios to navigate a future with the potential for enormous surprises. Alternative asset managers face a complex mix of opportunities and challenges presented by strong investor appetite for diversification, as well as broader industry pressures. BNY Mellon, in conjunction with Mergermarket, surveyed 100 institutional investors and 100 alternative asset managers on their perceptions of current trends in the space and on whether the two sides are moving in the same direction. The findings show changing investor and asset manager attitudes and behavior, in some cases contrasting with our 2017 research report, The Race for Assets.1 In addition to shifting investor needs, highlighted in Chapter 1 of this study, alternative asset managers face structural changes within their organizations. A majority of alternative asset manager respondents cite forces of increased competition and changing economics as top factors driving structural change. They see increased product innovation as another significant structural game-changer. Like their peers in the broader asset management industry,2 alternative asset managers are deploying digital and data analysis technologies to increase efficiency, overcome regulatory hurdles, promote product innovation and improve reporting. 1 https://www.bnymellon.com/us/en/insights/content-series/the-race-for-assets.html 2 https://www.bnymellon.com/us/en/insights/asset-management-transformation-is-already-here/survey-research-series-overview.html 2 The need for robust data management and analytics is also bringing new complexities to the fore.

Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Brian Duffy The Need for Vision: Tall Buildings in Dublin Brian Duffy Associate, Traynor O’Toole Architects – 49 Upper Mount Street, Dublin 2, Ireland Abstract The Celtic Tiger economy in Ireland has dramatically changed the substance of life in Ireland within a very short space of time. Whilst the infrastructure has struggled to keep up, the urban realm has begun the process of rapidly transforming Dublin from a low rise city of urban sprawl, to a densely woven contemporary modern environment. The appetite to build tall is tempered by an apprehensive planning policy, that reflects the cautious mood of the general public. Such apprehension restricts the possibility of creating an of-its-time City that meets it demands sustainably, whilst fulfilling its high aspirations. The paper examines planning policies and how Dublin architects have pursued tall buildings, most typically in the city centre. This is then contrasted with an alternative approach on the edge of the city, where one major landowner and [email protected] design team have proposed an entire masterplanning vision, premised on the inclusion of tall buildings. This untypical approach yields notable success and, in doing so, highlights the need for a more proactive and interactive approach to Biography Briantall building Duffy qualifiedstrategic planningfrom Queens on behalf University of architects, Belfast, developers Northern Ireland, and planners before alike.
