The restoration preserves the warehouse’s heritage while showcasing a carefully curated mix of materials — Crea Purple, FLB First Quality, and FLB Danehill Yellow bricks. Each type was selected for its unique qualities, combining depth, texture, and warmth to create a façade that feels both authentic and enduring.
This blend of tones and craftsmanship gives the building its distinctive presence, anchoring its 19th-century origins in a contemporary context. More than a surface treatment, the brickwork tells a story of continuity, linking Dublin’s industrial past with its architectural future, and positioning the Tropical Fruit Warehouse as a landmark defined by both substance and style.
