This project is a comprehensive phased redevelopment of the urban block bounded by Dorset Street Upper, Dominick Street Upper and St Mary’s Place North in Dublin. The existing 1.2 ha site comprises four five-storey 1950s flat blocks and a playschool (now closed) which form Dorset Street and Mary’s Place social housing scheme.
The existing buildings will be demolished in two phases. The proposed development will be managed by Dublin City Council and comprises 163 homes within five apartment buildings and one terrace. This includes seven houses, 11 duplexes and 145 apartments, alongside associated car and cycle parking as well as public and private open spaces. Provision for a future boxing club, multi-use childcare facility, commercial space and café is also incorporated into the design.
