Two 5-storey and one 4-storey buildings are positioned around an inner landscaped court, forming the north west corner of Temple Bar, comprising 53 apartments and 5 retail units on a site area of 0.34 acres, producing a residential density of 170 dwellings per acre (420 units per hectare).

Key features include: suspended steel corner balconies, giving open river views; innovative use of glazed faience for shop fronts & apartment entrances, resulting in a bright, practical & durable finish, which is easily cleaned of graffiti; the site planning ensures that maximum advantage is taken of views along the River Liffey, into the glazed atrium of the adjoining Dublin Civic Offices, and into a small civic space with a church facade on Essex Street West.
