Project Overview

The proposal includes 208, one and two bedroom apartments arranged in five blocks. Two of the blocks are six storeys reducing to five and four storeys at their northern ends (Blocks 2 and 3) while Block 1 reduces from 6 to 4 storeys. Conjoined blocks numbers 4 and 5 are generally five storeys reducing to four storeys at the northern end. All five blocks are arranged along broadly north / south alignments to maximize daylight and sunlight access to the units and to the properties to the north.

The buildings on site are linked together by a south facing pedestrian green route running east/ west along the southern boundary of the site overlooking the gym. The route links a communal garden at the western end of the site beside Block 1 to a public green in the south eastern corner beside Block 4/5. The gable ends of blocks one two and three form the backdrop to the pedestrian route with the main entrances to each of the blocks accessed directly from this feature.

The northern end of these blocks incorporates a covered “on grade” car park with landscaped communal spaces on the decks overhead. Two sets of large scale south facing urban steps and external stairs connect the communal decks to the pedestrian route below and provide additional opportunities for outdoor interaction between residents. 

Vehicle circulation is kept separate from the key pedestrian areas with all vehicles accessing the development at the north eastern corner of the gym car park and proceeding to the northern boundary where a limited width shared surface directs vehicles east and west to car parking and service areas.

Planning permission was received from An Bord Pleanala  Q3 2022.
