quality crescents reflect Bath in Dublin

Article Abstract:

Two residential crescent buildings have been developed on a site between the River Dodder and Herbert Park near Dublin. They were inspired by Lansdown Crescent in Bath and were constructed in glass fibre reinforced concrete (GRC). This provided a satisfactory finish to the curved surfaces with a veneer of reconstructed stone bonded to the backing to give the Bath stone appearance. The panels were then etched or sandblasted to give a natural look.
