Beechwood Court, Dublin

The development is exemplified by the variety of building typologies and arrangements which create urban character while relating to the suburban surroundings. Terraces of three-storey housing and duplex units as well as an apartment block with atrium complement a series of seven point blocks. The site has a major frontage and forms a city marker on the one of the major artery roads into Dublin which protects the lansdcaped area housing a further four pavilion buildings.

The buildings vary in height between 3 and 8 storeys and the storey base to the perimeter point blocks provide generous private roof terraces. This reinforces the strong urban edge to the main road and enhances the screening of the garden courtyards from traffic noise.

Apartments enjoy a high standard of spatial design including dual aspect, optimum orientation, generous provision of storage and private open space or roof gardens. Some are triple aspect, enjoying continuous views from the mountains to the south to the sea in Dublin’s bay to the north. The development includes quality affordable apartments which are distributed throughout the development for a better social mix.

The building incorporates significant detail design complexities including precast structural and cladding elements which ensure build quality, reduced carbon footprint and delivered an accelerated construction programme satisfying key elements of the developers ambitious targets.
