Richmond Homes appointed ALTU Architects to deliver a quality high-density residential scheme at a strategic corner site in Donnybrook, Dublin 4. The architectural response was to create a 12 storey landmark tower, articulated with a limestone framed brick and glass façade, to provide a gateway to Donnybrook urban village. The tower element is flanked by 7 storey shoulder blocks, with the development comprising 148 Apartments, tenant amenity areas, shared roof gardens and a basement bike and car park.
The scheme modulates to 4 storeys on the western boundary to respect the neighbouring residential context and to maximise light into the internal courtyard space.
The project outcome is a well crafted and considered landmark building, adding 148 homes in a well serviced urban area, demonstrating that density can be achieved through good design and respect for context.
Quality Materials
The building is clad predominantly in brick with feature stone framing to outer facades and distinctive anodised metal doors, windows & balconies.
