Landmark tower / U2 studio
Located at one of the most spectacular sites of the Dublin harbour, the new architecture of the landmark tower is determined by offering its inhabitants maximum panorama's and a maximum of daylight. For the citizens of Dublin it offers a new public comfort on the ground level by organising a bar, restaurant, small deli and a shop on the ground floor. It's iconic appearance refers to old concrete silo buildings, now materialised in glass - the landmark tower as a lighthouse.
