Merrion Square was originally a private square for the sole use of local residents. It was purchased by the Catholic church in 1930 with the intention of building a cathedral on site. This never materialized and Dublin Corporation took over ownership of the park in 1974. DCC undertook a broad scale renovation of Merrion Square Park. These works were guided by the Conservation & Management Plan which was completed in 2014.

The renovation of ‘Jardin Anglaise’ required a high quality emphasis on materials and craftmanship. Omos worked closely with the landscape architects within DCC Parks and Landscape Services to design and develop new elements in the park. A key aspect of the designs were ensuring Georgian roots were maintained while embracing its place in 21st century Dublin.
