SIPTU Headquarters, Liberty Hall, Dublin

The new Liberty Hall rebuilt on its historic site shall be Dublin’s premier contemporary urban landmark. Situated downriver from the central O’Connell bridge its glass clad slender form arises in dramatic crystalline formation marking the transition of city to port. The design achieves an invigorating and efficient office workplace to the highest standards of sustainability and energy prudence. The building proposes a unique range of public facilities including theatre and conference positioned just off a welcoming public hall at ground level with a dramatically accessed skydeck, exhibition and café at rooftop levels.
