This is the swanky new home of the Commissioner of Irish
Lights, the body responsible for many of the lighthouses, beacons, buoys and
helipads around the Irish coast, north and south.
This site has been the home of the Commissioners of Irish
Lights since 1875. From its early planning, a conscious decision was made to
produce a building of contemporary design: a modern structure reflecting the
ethos of the client, using the most modern technologies that provide aids to
the marine industry. This structure also provides a counterpoint to the various
historic structures nearby, which, in their own right, are prominent
landmarks.There are two main structures in this development: a circular open-plan
administration office linked to a rectilinear functional workshop building. It
was completed in 2008.
