We are again looking forward to the Irish Architecture Foundation’s Open House weekend, running this year from 5-7 October.

This year boasts an expanded number and range of exhibition houses and buildings spread across Dublin. While unfortunately, many of the pre-booked tours were very qucikly fully subscribed, there is till much to enjoy including the skyscraper terrace of Liberty Hall, the ornate interior of Charlemont House, the award-winning design of Henry J. Lyons Architects Studios in Pearse Street and the retro-ridged concrete roof of Donnybrook Bus Garage.

Similar events are planned in Galway on 11-15 October and Limerick on 19-21 October.

To get you drooling at the possibilities of flawless design, here’s a snap of the exciting Plastic House (residential, pre-book) in North Strand D3-
