"Douglas Wallace have designed a landmark development that leads the way forward in the urban regeneration of Dundalk town centre and will greatly enhance the physical and commercial fabric of Market Square" Frank McArdle, Brookville Properties This new signature landmark development in Dundalk town centre was recently granted planning permission from the local authority. The 37,300 sq ft scheme at Market Square in Dundalk has four retail units on basement, ground and mezzanine levels with office accommodation on the first, second and third floors. The retail units have a prime frontage onto the square itself. The Market Square development has been hailed as a scheme that leads the way forward in the urban regeneration of Dundalk town centre. The development occupies a prime corner site at the western end of Market Square in the historic core of Dundalk town. In addressing frontage onto the square an elegant series of stone-clad vertical bays echo the terraced urban form of the town. We have maximised visibility into the retail units which line Market Square with a glazed box wrapping around the corner onto the Demesne where the office entrance is accessed through a giant flat arch. The corner nature of the building is further accentuated by wrap-around louvres which shade the curtain-wall glazed offices at the upper levels. The setback penthouse level is roofed by a lightweight cantilevered plane which hovers above the floor to ceiling glazed walls. It is hoped that this new building will bookmark an end of Market Square that has been neglected over recent years. A sense of place will be created around the square giving it the prominence it deserves |
