Oscar Traynor Road, Dublin
The creation of a residential quarter with a new city park on vacant lands at the edge of the city.
- Location Dublin
- Client Glenveagh Living Ltd
- Project Neighbourhood Centre
- Scale 89,000 sqm
The Challenge
The Oscar Traynor Road site has previously had a history of design proposals put forward through various procurement routes that have never come to fruition.
In 2020, Reddy Architecture + Urbanism with Glenveagh Living, created a masterplan that matched the aspirations of Dublin City Council and allowed the design to be progressed as a partnership agreement.
The Story
Our masterplan is rooted in sustainability and community cohesion, addressing Dublin's diverse needs through thoughtful design. There will be 850 new homes of various tenures, social housing, cost rental units, and affordable purchases.
The masterplan was developed with extensive community consultation in order to create a successful mixed tenure scheme that is integrated with the local neighbourhood. Our approach ensures inclusivity while prioritising placemaking. A new city park will have permeable connections with the surrounding urban areas and a neighbourhood centre will be provided at a key node in the masterplan.
The Outcome
Our holistic approach, guided by inclusivity and sustainability lays the foundation for a thriving neighbourhood centred around a new city park. Our diverse housing typologies will cater to various tenure groups and provide Whole Life Design, inclusivity and affordability.
