Sunlight Chambers, Commercial building on Parliament Street and Essex Quay in Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland
Sunlight Chambers features a four-story structure with rusticated granite walls, rendered upper floors, and decorative faience bands across its facade.
The building, constructed between 1900 and 1910, was commissioned by Lever Brothers and designed by architect Edward Ould for their soap manufacturing business.
The exterior walls display faience panels that illustrate the complete process of soap production, representing early 20th-century industrial practices.
The structure maintains its original function as an office building while standing at the intersection of Parliament Street and Essex Quay in central Dublin.
Conrad Dressler created extensive external frieze work that combines Ionic pilasters, Doric columns, and stone pediments throughout the building's design.
