The vision of the Clonburris SDZ is to provide a new sustainable mixed-use town of 9,000+ households on a high-capacity rail line to the west of Dublin. ALTU Architects have been working as part of a multi-disciplinary Design Team, for Cairn Homes to realise the first Urban Centre (Cooper’s Square) to service the community.

ALTU Architects have provided master-planning and architectural services to the project, obtaining a Planning Grant in Q3 2023.

The ILAC Quarter Masterplan sets out a bold vision to transform a key city centre site into a vibrant, mixed-use urban district that re-establishes the ILAC Centre as a premier destination in Dublin’s core. Rooted in careful analysis of the existing urban structure and retail context, the concept proposes a renewed urban identity — one that reconnects with the surrounding street network while introducing a new, active heart to the city. At the centre of the proposal is a generous, covered-but-open Central Urban Square — a social and cultural hub defined by new food, leisure, and civic uses. This space acts as a meeting point, performance venue, and everyday gathering place, bringing new vibrancy and permeability to the historic city grain. The masterplan envisions a layered mix of uses including restaurants, hotel, residential, a city garden, a library, and a rooftop viewing platform overlooking Dublin. These components are arranged to form new street edges, activate Moore Street, and stitch the ILAC Centre into its urban surroundings with a finegrain and pedestrian-focused approach.

This mixed-use scheme introduces a new residential and retail anchor to a prominent corner in the heart of Ratoath town centre. Responding to its central location, the design employs a varying height strategy of three to five storeys, effectively addressing the urban streetscape while creating appropriate density.

A key feature of the design is the creation of a series of private podium courtyards. These elevated green spaces, situated above a concealed basement car park, provide a high-quality, sheltered amenity for residents. This approach successfully integrates the public vibrancy of ground-floor retail with the private sanctuary of residential life above, creating a dynamic and well-defined new urban block for Ratoath.
