South Terrace, Cork was built in the early 1830’s by architect Sir Thomas Deane and is considered one of Cork’s most significant Georgian terraces. This project rejuvenates the 3 protected Georgian townhouses, Nos 31-33, and connects them to a new build at the rear of the site to provide 103 hotels rooms. Along South Terrace, the historical features of the Georgian buildings are all preserved - with the round Greek-Revival doors, their Doric columns and fanlights all maintained to form the main entrances. The front rooms are refurbished and repurposed to provide active, public reception and lounge rooms. At the rear of the site, a carefully-composed brick façade mimics the rhythm of the Georgian architecture, with a glazed base opening up the new-build element to activate Cotter Street.
