This project, co-designed with ABK Architects, is a series of new apartment buildings and family houses on a site facing Oscar Traynor Road, a relatively busy street located near Dublin airport. It provides a total of 64 flats, 14 houses and associated parking and amenity spaces. All homes are let at social rents and managed directly by Dublin City Council.
The development was a pilot for the Council's programme to build over 800 new social rent homes using an off-site construction approach to increase build quality and reduce site time and therefore impacts on local residents. New buildings range from two to four storeys in height and utilise factory-built modular wall panels on a lightweight steel structure. The external metal and brick cladding is designed to vary between buildings to add character and respond carefully to the local context.
