News: Unique ‘twisting tower’ for Dublin
Dublin: A stunning design for a twisting tower has won a design competition for a site at Britain Quay in Dublin’s docklands.
The competition was held by the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, and was won by Craig Henry Architects and Burdon Dunne Architects out of well over 500 entrants. They propose to build a 25-storey tower, twisting as it rises. The tower will contain a mix of uses, including residential, office, retail and cafes/restaurants. But the most unusual aspect of the tower is what will sit at the very top – a new recording studio for Irish band U2.
Evidently, they’re not retiring anytime soon . . . .
