McDonnell + Dixon have designed and project managed some of the leading church construction and church conservation projects in Ireland.
This project spanned many years, from the early 90's till completion in 2002. It is the culmination of the churches vision for increasing the usability of their premises, and is a sensitive and intelligent response to the brief and to the protected status of the existing building.
At lower ground level are childcare and community facilities. These have been carefully designed for flexibility and in compliance with strict regulations for childcare facilities. At upper ground is the main church body. This was reduced in volume to incorporate additional
levels above it, namely community facilities on 1st floor and apartments on top.
The front facade has been restored to its former glory, and forms a city landmark at the end of Earlsfort terrace.
