THE BIG NEWS in the property world this week was the introduction of Eircode.
It is hoped that that new system will modernise the way the Irish postal service works.
There was also news of how new regulations on renting in Berlin had managed to bring about a decrease in rents.
Ireland’s new crematorium
It was announced this week that a new crematorium is set to be built in Dardistown Cemetery.
Construction will begin this month and is expected to be completed by next summer. The non-denominational facility will be open to people of all religions.
The new structure has been designed by A&D Wejchert & Partners Architects. It will be set back within a grove of trees and the areas within the building itself are to be enclosed within a high wall of weathered limestone.
Eircode
The past week has seen the launch of Ireland’s new post code system, Eircode.
It means that now every address in the country will have its own seven-digit identification code. It is hoped that the system will give businesses and individuals a greater ability to locate properties.
However there have already been some teething problems with the new system, with some people finding searches for their properties returning incorrect results.
This week Business Insider took a look at one of the more interesting categories at the World Architecture Festival. The ‘Best Future Building’ takes a look at structures that are yet to be completed. Here is a selection of just a few of them:
