MOLA Architecture were engaged by Kennedy Wilson to produce a Design Proposal for this challenging site at 10 Hanover Quay. Located strategically at the end of Hanover Quay and overlooking the Dodder cut & canal lock gates, this project marks the completion of the northern frontage onto The Grand Canal Basin. The project was developed within the statutory context of the Docklands SDZ. The SDZ requiring the retention of the roofscape in response to this, the distinctive three-bay roofscape of the original warehouse has been retained and raised to float above the existing stone and brick walls to provide dramatic panoramic views of the Docklands, City and Dublin Bay.

The design provides 8,250sqm of office space over 9 storeys, 3 storeys of which are located within the existing warehouse structures and the remainder in a new 6 Storey glass and steel block structure to the rear. Both the warehouse and stable building on Green Street are protected structures and act as a strong base and counterpoint to the contemporary elements floating above.
