This scheme is a series of new apartment buildings and family houses on a site in central Dublin opposite an urban park in the Liberties area. We have proposed three new buildings ranging from six to eight storeys which are designed to reflect the former industrial distillery warehouses characteristic to the borough. The project was co-designed with ABK Architects and provides a total of 57 apartments with private amenity spaces and a communal courtyard along with 320sqm of rentable non-residential space for both live/work and office/start-up space. All homes are let at social rents and managed directly by Dublin City Council.
This forms part of Dublin City Council's programme to build over 800 new social-rent homes using volumetric construction to increase build quality and reduce site time and subsequent disruption to local residents. Site-applied external cladding varies between buildings to add character and respond carefully to the site's local context.
