A backland site was opened up when the Coombe By Pass cut through the city pattern. The urban design requirement was for a new street frontage to heal the wounds caused by the road engineering operation. The brief was for 47 dwellings and a street level community room.
This project repairs the local landscape by providing a new collective space, built around a former timber yard, making a residential enclave with a sense of place. The design provides scale, identity and a piece of living city, connecting new development in the area to the historic character of the Liberties.
