the wooden building

   

 

This domestic library by de Blacam and Meagher has been skilfully designed and crafted in white oak and iroko. The height of the space is accentuated by large picture windows to the north, south and west, offering expansive views over the city of Dublin. A mezzanine level to the east breaks up the space and provides a desk area for the occupant and access to shelves placed at a higher level. De Blacam imagines his libraries, from domestic to public, as living rooms and this is evident here. The picture windows also act as seats. This library even has its own ensuite. 

The rooftop's parapet in copper further enhances the visual connection with the various copper domes dotted across the skyline.

castle steps

Photos taken at the Castle Steps which is a pedestrian walkway to Castle Street. This was designed by architect Francis Johnston in 1807 to improve security at Dublin Castle after Emmet’s 1803 rebellion. Just as in the Millennium Wing of the National Gallery the addition of modern handrails interrupts the view and flow through this overlooked route.
