ALTU were engaged to design an innovative, urban scheme for Merrion Row – a mixed-use development on a constrained and sensitive site directly adjacent to St. Stephen’s Green.
The proposed development consists of restaurant/retail use at ground floor, with twenty four apartment units accommodated on the upper floors. The proposed scheme when delivered, will integrate appropriately with the nature of the surrounding urban fabric, which is characterised by a range of buildings of varying heights and scale, whilst introducing an element of high-quality modern architecture to this central location.
An innovative design approach was taken to maximise both density and height opportunity on corner site, addressing existing streetscape and roofscape.
