Type: Competition - designed in collaboration with Holt O’Brien Architects
Status: Unbuilt
Location: Roscrea, Co. Tipperary
A series of courtyard houses are arranged along the northern and southern boundaries of the site, around a meadow in which sits the shared room, and it’s associated west-facing garden.
Three new town-houses address Gantly Road, with an increased scale in keeping with proposed plans to develop a new streetscape parallel to Main Street.
A ribbon of garden wall wraps around the exposed boundaries of the site, cut through with public access ways and entrances to private courts.
The aim of the project is to provide an inclusive and pleasant place to accommodate residents of all ages, reaping the benefits of town centre living, while minimising the impact of vehicular traffic and preserving generous private and public open spaces.
