OMOS Myrtle Square

Myrtle Square

Myrtle Square is situated in the heart of Dun Laoghaire town, south Dublin. This project saw a dramatic redistribution of public realm space in favour of pedestrians and as a destination space. The goal of this project was to create a landmark for the centre of the town, creating a communal area in the process.

Precast concrete base units with honed surface and fluted front faces. Recessed iroko bench inserts on galvanized steel plates.

Bespoke iroko seating with integrated strip uplighters. Powder coated galvanized steel armrests and backrests.

Omos provided bespoke planter seating for the square. Iroko timber laths mounted on galvanized steel plates were used for the seating, accompanied by powder coated, mild steel armrests and backrests.

Bespoke seating with a custom plaque fixed to the backrest.

A plaque dedicated to Eileen Dalton, a native of Dun Laoghaire, was integrated into one of the pieces of furniture. The bespoke seating enhanced the communal aspect of the project, offering inviting spaces for socialising within the square.
