Homes that serve
communities.

“This local authority housing scheme is a thoughtful exploration of clustered buildings around informal courtyards. It gives a sense of place dedicated to people rather than cars. There are no windswept open spaces lacking definition rather only quality design through-out the whole scheme.”

“The success of the building is in the series of small communities that are formed within each block and each courtyard, whilst still benefitting from site-wide facilities.”

‍

“I want to see more of this type of development delivered. This is an example of Government, Local Authorities, and the construction sector working together to deliver high-quality, inclusive housing.”

‍

“The project was funded by AIB, and is the leading project in their Social Housing Fund, as part of AIB’s overall Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy.”

‍

“The careful attention to detail applied to sustainable design principles led to this project winning the ‘Sustainability, Built Environment Category’ at the 2024 ACEI awards.”

‍

'The fact that we got both a DCC approval and an ABP approval, with very minimal changes or conditions is a testament to your skilled and thoughtful design work throughout the process."

‍

“A beautifully presented scheme. It is ambitious in its treatment of the urban domain and in its use of light and exploitation of views within each apartment. A clear hierarchy is shown in the structure, planning and organisation of apartments with an integrated approach to sustainable issues of heating and energy and recycling. It was one of the few schemes which depicted every architectural detail as well as showing social interaction.”

‍

“Green Lane is a great example of mixed-tenure living in the heart of a community. The older residents living here can enjoy living in a vibrant community with people from all ages and backgrounds, including young families, while also accessing the particular supports they need to remain independent and age in place.”

‍

“This project reflects our shared commitment to building vibrant, well-connected communities, and stands as a testament to what can be achieved through strong partnership.”
