The flagship of Crown Square


The Radisson RED hotel was the first building opened in Crown Square, and large mixed-up site in the west of Ireland:  It's been opened for almost a year, yet is still surrounded by cranes working on the rest of the site.   It maintains a stately solid elegance  among the hoardings.

When glass-clad office blocks are designed, they look sleek and aesthetic.  But if they're facing into the sun during the working day, glare protection is required.   White roller blinds can give an "interesting" look when each single one is lowered to a different level. 

Location:  Bonham Quay, Galway, September 2025.  Buildings Santiago (left) and Alcántara (right).
