The Dublin skyline is ugly, why are we not building high rise for modern city?

    Just on the train home now going through Drumcondra and the skyline of Dublin (or lack of) is absolutely disgusting. Loads of grey/brownish everywhere, council flats, brick houses and nothing of note other than Croke Park and the spire.

    I see many cranes down towards the docklands being wasted building low rise commercial developments. I really think with Brexit, Dublin is making a huge mistake not building to Singapore levels of high rise. 30/40 story plus buildings zoned in the docklands would make the cityscape look spectacular. We could still retain the charm of old Dublin. They could be multi purpose mix of residential, commercial and shopping centres on the ground/underground floor. With this in mind we could compete with top global cities and provide great living standards for young professionals who wouldn't have to commute from the likes of Mullingar etc.

    Why is this not happening? In my opinion it is a massive blown opportunity and lack of ambition from successive reactive instead of proactive Government's. Too many ministers with vested interests in keeping property supply low. We are attracting top Global MNCs yet staff are being shoehorned into shared and not fit for purpose accommodation out if the city. Only a matter of time before further investment is lost as the city is stretched. An absolute embarrassment.

    Any thoughts?

    No vision. Sheep mentality which translates to design of buildings

    Someone was complaining in another thread about the spire. If they can build a monument that high, why not a tower.

    'Charm of Old Dublin'

    Right.

    The spire is an absolute monstrosity to be fair. They should get the consaw to that yoke.

    Because the bulk of the population doesn't know that these things and many others regarding planning & housing are controlled by councils and not TD's, so we vote in a shower of morons to each council and they make stupid decisions regarding planning and housing and we blame the thickos in the Dail.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,166 ✭✭✭Fr_Dougal


    Is it not the individual Councils that set policy? Sinn Fein had a majority in a lot of the Dublin Councils yet voted against high rise. The very same ones who are out marching for the homeless.

    When the city limits extend into Co. Mayo they might decide to start building up

    I see it in my own area. There's a development plan with 3000 houses, new roads and schools planned in North Kildare and locals are kicking off. Councillors are beginning to take stances to appease them. I'm sure many Councillors privately think differently. Now tbh, I hate that my area will change so drastically but I can see it's in the national interest. Housing is badly needed. We need to move with the times.

    They are afraid, very afraid of setting a precedent. Honestly the Docklands are like bunkers when they could have gone up many storeys.

    I think it will change soon. Especially down that neck of the woods. It is not interfering with anything and could be a beacon of light in time.

    But by the time the powers that be make a decision, the next recession will have hit, and we all go round the merry go round again. Giving out about everything, but solving nothing.

    Building more high rise buildings will help the housing crisis and make transport more efficient, which is good in itself but it won't necessarily make the skyline any prettier unless that becomes one of the prime planning considerations.
    I find many high rise buildings have little aesthetic value and are simply functional but there are exceptions such as the beautiful Chrysler Building in New York... it'd be great if we got something like that in our cities.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,631 ✭✭✭snotboogie


    The first genuine skyscraper proposal in Ireland went for planning last month, Johnny Ronan’s project waterfront. None of the Irish urban areas are of any real particular note, of course there are buildings and streets that need to be preserved but we do not have an Amsterdam or a Venice.

    The new Barangaroo and Darling Harbour waterfront in Sydney are good examples of high rise done right.

    The docklands is a grim area. High rise could really rejuvinate it. Also Sydneysiders commute by boat. Could such an initiative ease Dublins overcrowded rail system? Example Dun Laoghaire - Docklands - IFSC


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,536 ✭✭✭touts


    Take the double decker tourist hop on hop off bus around Dublin where you can see over walls and into sites. It's an eye opening experience. The city is a kip. There is little worth preserving. However we have a planning system that gives too much influence to those who want to continue to live in the backward filth they have become accustomed to. And it's not just Dublin. The same happens around the country. At the moment there is a proposal to demolish a detilict early rat infested hotel in Clonmel town cenrer and replace it with a modern classy looking hotel. The project is all but dead thanks to the complaints of a few who want to preserve the street scape from their miserable childhoods in the early 20th century. And many of the complaints come from the professional complainers in An Taisce who never set foot in Clonmel never mind have childhood memories of the place.

    We need a complete overhaul of planning in this country.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,205 ✭✭✭✭hmmm


    I don't believe it's the skyline these people really care about, it's keeping their nice quiet houses within walking distance of the city centre. The last thing they want is the noise of hundreds of new families in an area, and they're quite happy for them to have to commute in from Drogheda and Maynooth. It's also extremely valuable to own a property in the city because there are so few, so any new developments are going to reduce the value of their ****ty redbricks.

    Had relatives over a while back, they commented on how ugly most of Dublin city was. In particular the Northside, add to that the junkies and homeless that accosted us on our way home, Dublin city center is truly a hole.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,285 ✭✭✭downtheroad


    From a rooftop in Fairview last night the round tower in Glasnevin cemetery was clearly visible above the skyline to the west. It is 55 metres tall and was built in 1854.

    It probably wouldn't get planning permission today because of nimby objectors.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,184 ✭✭✭riclad


    We have many historic buildings ,
    dublin castle.
    victorian buildings , mansions ,museums, .
    Saying we have no buildings worth preserving is simply wrong.
    We are in the middle of a housing crisis .
    The homeless go to the city centre because thats where hotels and services
    are located .
    I agree we need some area,s zoned for high buildings for offices and residential.
    There are many old buildings that are derelict and empty.
    i don,t know why ,they are not sold off ,or rented out .
    this are empty building that are just boarded up in the city centre .
    It would be better for the environment to build high buildings and
    take advantage of the resources we have .
    This could reduce traffic and commuting times for workers .
    Is there some european city that does not have some homeless people
    or drug users in the city center ?Of course someone who owns expensive land is
    in favour of higher building .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    Architecturally Dublin city center is ugly as ****, the last 50 years of putting up innovative, bold, ****-ugly buildings that we're now knocking made it that way, High rise will be just another example. You look at the sillicon docks and the custom house beside them and realise the west lost the ability to design great buildings a long time ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,295 ✭✭✭n97 mini


    I live in Leixlip. There are plans to add 3000 houses to the town. I spoke to one of the planners and asked what proportion of the working population commute to Dublin. 70% was the answer. I proposed to him therefore that Dublin needs more density as surely a lot of people would prefer to live closer to work, and specifically mentioned high rise. "Nah, everyone wants a 3 bed semi with front and back gardens" was his answer. This guy was a good 15 years younger than me (I'm in my mind 40s).

    I replied that there are plenty of young singles that want to live close to work and the action (my 23 year old being one), not miles out in the urban sprawl. "Nah, Irish people don't want to live in apartments" was the reply.

    This is the mentality you're dealing with. I don't know where it's coming from.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭con___manx1


    sky scrapers are over rated. when you see them everyday going to work you get sick of the sight of them. I did anyway when I lived in a high rise city. Dublin needs to sort out its public transport before we
    start worrying about skyscrapers.

    Dublin has extended well beyond its borders into surrounding counties. When do we stop, when we've hit the west coast?

    I'm the same area as yourself. We are going to become part of the city. I don't think the rail line will cope too well. Lots of crossings, points of failure and people already struggle to get on the train in the mornings from Coolmine onwards. The signalling system is already outdated and under huge pressure. Cannot fathom how the town planner has that attitude at that age.

    High rise city living is a great option especially for people in their 20s getting a start in life and out to enjoy themselves. I'm seeing far too many people stuck living at home, lives passing by. High rise in the docklands would take a huge burden off our inadequate public transport system.

    Dublin is a great city and the old low-rise areas should be maintained. East of Butt bridge, however, should be no holds barred. As high as you like and as brash as you like. The same goes for new developments to the west of the city.

    I've nothing against high-rise buildings as a solution for the housing crisis, and as others have said, it would especially suit younger people working in the city, but I don't understand the 'highrise skyline=attractive skyline' standpoint. Does this just come from seeing the New York skyline on Woody Allen films or Seattle's at the start of Frasier? When you're actually at the buildings, it's not necessarily so pretty.

    They would be older high rise. Modern high rise are more multi purpose retail, leisure, commercial and residential. They and can be designed in such a way that there are green areas incorporated and flexible ambient lighting. They dont necessarily have to be dull concrete jungles.

    Hopefully Johnny Ronans one is the start of something because it would look way out of place alone.

    I’ve found Dublin quite pretty on those trips. You can’t really judge a city by people’s backyards.

    That Clonmel story is interesting. Clonmel definitely needs some rejuvenation.

    He’s right though. Have a look at the accommodation and property forum when someone asks whether he should buy an appartment. General consensus is no.

    There’s also a perceived problem with quality, noise and management fees.

    All problems that should be addressed with better standards of builds.

    Saw myself on sites during the boom, no supervision of tradesmen/labourers and shoddy, rushed work being carried out.

    One lad was looking after the soundproofing around the service ducts and would put a really thin layer of soundproofing material in and cement over it. Guarantee all the neighbours can hear each others bowel movements now.

    The management fee issue needs to be addressed badly also

    The New York skyline is unreal in person, same with Hong Kong, both cities are a bit gritty but it’s part of their appeal. Not every high rise skyline goes with overpowing density and grittiness though there are plenty of modern high rise cities which have pristine streetscapes, Singapore makes Dublin look like Lagos and it’s a very high rise city.

    Due to the lack of quality apartment builds in Dublin, could you blame them?

    Racked and stacked, nonexistent soundproofing and some without proper fire safety.

    TBH...I wouldn't trust any Irish developer or building contractor to build a quality highrise development.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,489 ✭✭✭Yamanoto


    You don't require high-rise construction to deliver quality high-density housing.

    The current problem lies in the fact that development guidelines and regulations in Ireland make a very definite distinction between houses and apartments, ignoring the fact that residential dwellers essentially seek the same things - privacy, space, comfort and calm and considered open areas.

    This prevents the development of courtyard or terraced housing or other hybrid models, where tightly-grained networks of units densely occupy space in a city.

    One of the signs of the common or gardener Irish bore is that their favourite cliché is to bemoan the lack of high rise in Dublin. Apparently, they're under the impression that the city centre is low density :D

    Or the fact we have a massive housing crisis, the city has inadequate overstretched public transport and is sprawling too far out and MNCs are continuing to invest heavily in Ireland.

    We need high rise to remain competitive. Places for people to live and work in convenient locations. Dublin is sprawling way too far. That in itself is posing a major problem. It's about doing what is needed and getting with the times.
