This week we’re focusing on Housing, the area which makes up the lion’s share of our current programme.

The bio on the @dubcityarc Twitter handle puts it succinctly: “Dublin City Architects promotes design and provides architectural, urban design and conservation design services to Dublin City Council”. Over the next few weeks we’ll be posting information on recent and current projects. But first, an overview.

  Bealnagowan House, St. Mobhi Boithírn, Dublin 9 ‘Dangerous Buildings’ is a statutory section within DCC, under the direction of the City Architect, which is concerned with buildings, structures or sites deemed a danger to the public. It operates under the remit of the Local Government (Sanitary Services) Act 1964 as amended.
