This sophisticated Office building knows how to make the absolute most of the land it has been permitted to build upon. Squishing up against its neighbours, but in an undoubtedly understated smooth manner.
Despite the prominent density that this structure portrays, it also holds a graceful illusion of levitation. This symbolises a sense of enlightenment, a theme that is commonly found in the industry that the office building harbours within it’s shiny perimeter walls - the office industry.
The jagged, angular, external steel movements are often remarked as having an overwhelmingly hypnotic effect on the passers by. The captivating trance is so enthralling, that it's been rumoured to make you want to desperately sit at an office chair from 9-5 and sometimes even beyond with no extra pay. This has resulted in the offices having to refuse any further job applicants.

This elegant, monotonously designed structure boasts the tallest height of all the buildings in Dublin.
Capital Dock’s bold rectangular structure holds a daring facade of windows. Rows upon rows of windows, columns upon columns of windows.
These clever contraptions allow the humans inside, who rightly so, pay costly rent to enter inside, to truly appreciate the experience of being able to view all the other rectangular, windowular fascaded buildings in it’s neighbourly vicinity.

This impressively flat, sleek and uniform building radiates a strong sense of seriousness.
It encompasses a dichotomy of dark aesthetics and overstimulating shininess that is cleverly designed to be easily detected within the view of any onlookers.
It is difficult to imagine any sense of playful variation or interest within the architecture of this design. Every detail is firm and certain - creating commendable boredem.

Out of the four different student accommodation buildings and two new hotels in the ongoing regeneration of New Market square , it was Uninest’s New Mill Student Accommodation that really impressed us.
This building sensitively explores the spectrum of brown colours with a real air of expertise.
The rectangles in this building have stellar sharp corners, fostering a sense of physical territorial eagerness.

This International ApartHotel is a new comer to the streets of the Liberties that was developed on a former Cultural site.
Now with a trained eye, if you look deep into the complicated composition of this building, you may notice, that there are in fact eighty seven rectangles hidden in this labyrinth of a building!
Sticking to a simple pallet of 'orangey brown', 'clay grey' and '#142 Beige', we simply couldn't let this building go without the possibility of claiming the Most Boring Building Award.
