Full description from the council file

the construction of a new feature canopy within Quimper Square, Cruises Street, Limerick City. The development works will consist of: • Provision of a new three-legged canopy structure. • Weathered steel/Corten steel material. • Inverted castellated centre covered with clear glass. • Canopy structure over 6.5m in height and 11m wide. • Concealed rainwater downpipes within the legs of the structure. • Up lighters at the base of each leg. • Downlighters at the interface of the legs and arching moment. • All associated site works. The canopy is designed as a landmark feature within the public realm, serving as a focal point for social interaction and community activity. The architectural treatment of the structure is intended to enhance the visual quality of the space, strengthen local character, and encourage greater use of the area by providing an attractive and functional meeting place.
