Henry J Lyons work on the Irish Stock Exchange on Foster Place has unlocked an architecturally significant part of College Green by the design of a light-filled international digital trading hub that has brought together the dispersed activities of the Irish Stock Exchange.

The courtyard off Foster Place was a lost space in Dublin’s historic core. Originally a guarded entrance to the Parliament House, the Palladian-fronted Armoury Building has been given a new life by Henry J Lyons.

The project brief was to extend their existing home in the Miller & Synes’ six-bay Italianate Palazzo building fronting onto Anglesea Street (1878) and to link this with an older Armoury Building by Frances Johnson (1811) onto College Green.

Meeting point: Front Entrance – The Exchange Buildings, Foster Place, Dublin 2
