Floor-to-ceiling bay windows afford dramatic city, downtown and San Francisco Bay views in many homes.
Four houses and a bungalow now stand on the site of former amusement arcades in the coastal village of California in Norfolk.
As in many parts of the country small developments spring up on any available land now that planning permission is easier to obtain.
California, Norfolk.

This caught me by surprise when I came across it while on a quest to locate examples of street art. One thing that I did notice was that some drivers appeared to be somewhat confused by the layout … I say that because there were two minor crashes while I was photographing the area.
The Apple Market in Waterford has been the main location for trading since the early 18th century. Recently the area has been transformed into a contemporary urban quarter following a multi-million euro investment.
A specially constructed steel and glass canopy costing €1.2m was constructed as part of a €6m
urban renewal project undertaken by the local council of the area.
The structure is billed as being the only one of its kind in the country. The triangular steel and glazed canopy is held up by nine steel columns, positioned to facilitate certain traffic in the area.
A special reflective material developed by Medite in Co Tipperary is used on half of the 1,400 square-metre canopy, which is over nine metres above the street at its highest, creating a 'mirrored ceiling' effect.
The landscaped central courtyard area offers a quiet oasis in which to reflect and relax. There are seating areas and an adjacent entertainment lounge with a fully appointed kitchen.
This campus is currently being developed and the project is somewhat behind schedule.
The Central & East Quads for the DIT Grangegorman campus will accommodate academic activities and facilities required for a total of ten schools from the College of Sciences & Health, College of Engineering & Built Environment and the College of Arts & Tourism. These schools and their associated academic, teaching and specialist facilities will be grouped within the Central Quad to maximise the benefits and efficiencies to DIT from locating together related disciplines and functions.
There have been no real changes since my last visit.
The complex is located close to Heuston Railway Station which includes a Luas tram stop. It is also very close to the Luas which runs down Steevens' Lane along-side the old Dr Steevens' Hospital.
Here is a quote dating from nine years ago “In 2005, the partnership paid €79 million for the 8.2-acre site. When the entire range of facilities are completed in 2011 it is expected to have an end value of almost 10 times the purchase price.” [Irish Times Wed, Apr,2008,01:00]. I very much doubt that you would have to pay €790 million if you wanted to buy the complex today but is is frequently referred to as a €600 million development. However, as another property boom is underway it could well well worth a billion be year end.
According to the official description the €600 million Heuston South Quarter [HSQ], set on a former quarry, overlooks the Royal Hospital but I would be more inclined to say that it is overlooked by the Royal Hospital. The complex incorporates over 92,900sq m of floor area including retail, offices, a four to five-star hotel, leisure centre, gym, restaurants, and a crèche. To the best of my knowledge the first 350 apartments have been completed. I must admit that I did not notice the hotel. I should mention that I have some friends who live here and they are really like it … I could be wrong but they are buying their apartments through some sort of rent to buy scheme.
The area was identified by Dublin City Council as one of the most important development zones for the future of Dublin and therefore formulated Heuston Regeneration Strategy to stimulate and control this growth. The stated aim was to develop a modern and dynamic western entrance to Dublin city centre.
Designed by a team led by Anthony Reddy Architects, the development was originally called ‘Westgate’ because it is strategically located as the new western entrance to Dublin city centre. At some stage it was rebranded as the HSQ.

The original Fulton Bottom was every bit as historic and worthy of preservation as Church Hill or Jackson Ward. Instead it was the city's first ":slum clearance" program in the 60's and 70's. Everything from the old theater to markets, other businesses and 100's of homes were systematically wiped off the map, replaced by what you see above, but ironically, mostly only in the past decade.
Model of the early sixties project meant to transform the town centre.
Brutalist in its conception it never caught the hold of the town and was heartily disliked.
Much of it was demolished and repurposed over the next fifteen years.
Now of one looks south of the Willis building the trees have softened the frontage which once offended much of the town.
