82 Houses, Community Facility, Shop Unit, External Works & Site Development Works – Balgaddy 8A

Construction of 82 houses, community facility, shop unit, external works and site development works.

The brief was to design a new neighborhood of approx. 25 dwellings per acre, encouraging safety and security. The buildings are arranged so that residents overlook all streets and public areas where children can play and ‘hang out’. A shared surface of streets and pavements is complimented by robust ground floor red brick walls with white rendered walls and recessed blue planes above, creating a low maintenance, user-friendly environment. This continues inside the dwellings where residents have high quality timber windows that can be easily cleaned from the inside, easy to use locks and fittings and a very high level of finish generally. This is a new high-density neighbourhood of 84 dwellings for South Dublin County Council. The site is bounded to the north and west by existing residential development and a small hospital, to the south by a busy road and to the east by the local school grounds.

87 Dwellings, Associated External Works and Site Development

The works involve construction of 87 dwellings, new public highway with footpaths, parking areas, private and public landscaping.

The northern half of the site is laid out with seven three storey U-shaped buildings, each comprising nine apartments. These are arranged around private, south-facing courtyards facing the new internal road. The three-storey scale is appropriate to Santry Avenue and also relates to the Phase 3 and to the Phase 1 apartments by Gilroy McMahon Architects. Parking is provided for the apartments in landscaped areas to the side of each building. Terraces of two storey houses with rear gardens are lined the southern half of the site and backed onto the existing Coultry houses. Each terrace is also arranged in a U-shape corresponding to the apartment building opposite. This plan enhances the scale of the long estate road positioned over the services. All apartments have ‘own door’ access and generous south or west facing terraces the large ground floor apartments have private gardens.
