Our brief was to design a residential development on an urban infill site close to Raheny DART station and we successfully obtained planning permission for a 72 apartment five storey building. Following the issue of new urban development and building height guidelines for local Authorities by the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government a design appraisal was carried out of the approved scheme that resulted in the preparation of a design for a 105 unit development on the same site.
This scheme which takes full understanding of current design standards in terms of size and quality of space along with compliance with the principals of universal design was submitted to An Bord Pleanala as part of a Strategic Housing Development procedure.
