Without their commitment, passion and enthusiasm,
the vision for Lansdowne Place would not have been realised
Founded in 1999 and led by Chairman Joe O’Reilly, Chartered Land has established itself as one of the largest and most pioneering property development and investment companies in Ireland. Through joint ventures with long-term institutional capital partners, Chartered Land has forged a distinguished portfolio that includes Dundrum Town Centre; the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre and Grand Canal Square office scheme in Dublin’s Docklands; Swords Pavilions; and a mixed use retail led development on South King Street, Dublin 2. With Lansdowne Place we have achieved our aim of creating a truly original development that will be for residential what Dundrum Town Centre is for retail, the very best in class.
Goddard Littlefair is a London-based interior design studio. Its talented designers have worked on award-winning hotel and hospitality projects around the world, as well as many high-profile residential schemes.
The interior concept for Lansdowne Place references nearby Georgian and Victorian properties in terms of proportions and finishes and is rich and contemporary in feel, with granite balconies, solid walnut units, marble or natural stone bathrooms and the most exclusive kitchens ever offered in the Irish residential apartment sector.
‘We are trying to reference those Victorian and Georgian eras. Things like metals and timbers have a real authenticity to them. I’m really passionate about the integrity of fabric, things that are natural – velvets, linens, wools, things like the mohair velvets that would have been used in the past we’ve brought back but they’re softer, they’re more luxurious.’
– Jo Littlefair, Goddard & Littlefair Interior Architects

Rachel Joynt is an award-winning Irish sculptor who has created site-specific pieces for some of Ireland’s most well known public places. Her iconic installations include ‘Dearcan na nDaoine’, the People’s Acorn in the grounds of Áras an Uachtaráin (2017) as part of the State’s 1916 centenary commemorations, ‘Feed’ at Temple Bar Galleries (1999) and ‘Mothership’ at Dún Laoghaire seafront (1999).
She was chosen from a shortlist of acclaimed Irish artists and commissioned to create a centrepiece sculpture for the private courtyard in Lansdowne Place that will capture its unique character.
Peter McGuire is an Irish artist who specialises in glass design. His method of glass casting replicates glacial movement by melting glass over botanic matter.
Peter was commissioned by Goddard Littlefair to create a piece for the reception in Lansdowne Place. As the location of the Trinity Botanic Gardens until 1966, he continued the botanic theme, creating a stunning glass installation featuring 16 panels with botanic details that perfectly captures its unique history. The reflective/mirrored quality reflects light back into the reception for a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Bernard Seymour established BSLArch in 1996 with the aim of contributing a rigorous and creative approach to landscape design and planning. The practice has a diverse range of projects, varying in scale from private developments to significant public schemes, encompassing planning, forest amenities, historic estate restoration, parks, urban design projects and commercial work. Thoughtfully designed by BSLArch, the beautifully landscaped residents’ gardens at Lansdowne Place evoke the botanic history of the site and incorporate the past in a contemporary way. ‘When we’re looking at a site like this that has a historic lineage, in this case the Botanic Gardens, what we want to do is not to erase the traces of the past but to build on them.’ – Bernard Seymour, BSLArchitects
