Green Treasury (2013)
‘Central Bank in the 21st Century’ was an open design competition presented by DoCoMoMo Ireland to generate discussion among designers and decision-makers about the future of the Central Bank headquarters on Dame Street in Dublin. ‘Green Treasury’ is a conceptual proposal to transform the iconic 1980’s building, into a showcase for urban agriculture and ecotourism in the heart of the Capital. Russ and Henshaw’s shortlisted entry imagines a self-sufficient green retreat consisting of hotel rooms, rooftop gardens, allotments, cooking school, organic restaurant and street market. |
