  • Comment: This is basically just a corporate presentation. We don't need to see those long lists of projects and awards, save them for your own website. They also account for the vast majority of referencing (or should I say WP:REFBOMBING), whereas I don't see anything among the sources cited that would actually amount to notability per WP:NCORP.

Reddy Architecture + Urbanism

[edit]

Reddy Architecture + Urbanism (Reddy A+U) is an international architecture and urban design firm headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with additional offices in Galway, Cork, Belfast, Limerick, London, and Lisbon.[1]

The firm was founded in 1982 by architects Tony Reddy and Maurice Fitzgerald under the name Fitzgerald Reddy Associates.[2] Following Fitzgerald's departure in 1996 to establish Fitzgerald Kavanagh and Partners, the practice was renamed Anthony Reddy Associates Architects. In 2006 the practice incorporated O'Riordan Staehli Architects[3] with expanded international links, the practice adopted its current name, Reddy Architecture + Urbanism.[2]

History

[edit]

Tony Reddy, the firm's founder, was born in Dublin in 1952. He studied architecture at University College Dublin, completing his B.Arch in 1975. Early in his career, he worked in New York with international architects such as Paul Rudolph and Kevin Roche. [4] [5]

Reddy A+U’s early work focused on urban regeneration projects, including Ardilaun Court and Dean Court apartments on Patrick Street, Dublin[6]. In the 1990s Reddy Architecture was involved in the Temple Bar West End Masterplan[7] and a major urban regeneration project at Custom House Square, an area of residential, commercial, and cultural spaces[8].

In 2008, the firm designed the Eircom Headquarters as a landmark element of the Heuston South Quarter regeneration in Dublin. In 2008, it won an award for sustainability and energy management at the Irish Property Awards.[9]

The firm also designed The Brunel Building [10] in Heuston South Quarter, a 12-storey office block which resembles a billowing sail. The project included the provision of a new central square which was designed in collaboration with Danisah architect and urban design consultant Jan Gehl [11]. As part of the Parkgate Street Development for Heuston South Quarter, Reddy A+U also designed a 29-storey tower which when built, will be Dublin’s tallest landmark.[12]

In April 2020, the firm was appointed by the Land Development Agency as architect and master planners for the regeneration of the former National Mental Hospital site at Dundrum as a new residential neighbourhood.[13] The planning application for the 11-hectare site redevelopment was validated in January 2025. Phase one will deliver 934 new affordable and social homes.[14]

Contributions and Recognitions

[edit]

Tony Reddy is chairman of the Academy of Urbanism[15] and has served as chairperson and president of the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland (RIAI)[16]. He has contributed to RIAI publications The New Housing[17] and New Housing 2[18], in 2002 and 2009 respectively. In the publications, Reddy A+U projects including a residential development at Cherrywood [18], Heuston South Quarter[18], and mixed use developments at Herberton Road [18] and Marrowbone Lanes[19] are presented as case studies for strategic urban development. The firm was one of seven contenders shortlisted for the AJ100 new member of the year Award 2025.[20]
