Miesian Plaza (formerly known as the Bank of Ireland Headquarters) is an office building complex on Lower Baggot Street, Dublin. It is designed in the International Style by Scott Tallon Walker and inspired by the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, particularly his Seagram Building. One of Scott Tallon Walker's founders, Robin Walker, had studied under and taught with Mies, though the building was chiefly designed by partner Ronnie Tallon. Dublin City Council described it as "one of the most important Modernist buildings in Ireland" and "Dublin’s finest example of the restrained and elegant Miesian style", and its facade and plaza are protected structures.
