Contemporary living with great views of the river

THERE was a bit of a fuss for the opening of Riverbank, Bandon at the end of last month, with lots of Bandon’s great and good invited for the formal launch.

A contemporary development in the West Cork town, Riverbank is a 28-unit apartment scheme in cedar and render which does exactly what it says on the tin — it faces onto the Bandon river.

Designed by architect, Una O’Sullivan, this scheme has been in gestation since 2003 and was previewed on these pages in the autumn.
