Capel Street Hotel

C+W O’Brien Architects recently presented a design for this corner site development situated at the intersection of Capel Street and Little Strand Street in Dublin 1.

The project encompasses three distinct elements: a redbrick terrace house, a vacant lot on the corner and the Dublin Working Men’s Club on Little Strand Street. The proposed development seeks to transform the site into an aparthotel.

The envisioned modifications comprise internal reconfigurations to create 105 aparthotel rooms of varying sizes, including interlinking rooms. Additionally, plans include the relocation of bicycle parking from the basement to the ground floor, a reconfigured service yard to serve as an enclosed events space connecting the shop unit to the aparthotel at ground floor level. The proposal also outlines adjustments to the street-level façade, incorporating a retractable awning and fenestration at all levels, along with associated site works and services to enhance the overall functionality and aesthetics of the development.
