Following the success of the masterplan for Ballymun, David Prichard
was commissioned by Dublin City Council to redevelop these 1950’s
slab blocks. The new layout was negotiated with the residents and
provides 58 homes with gardens and large
balconies.
The new south facing crescent focuses on Our Lady of Lourdes Church
and creates a new tree-lined pocket park and playspace. The mix of
home types is based on the current housing requirements of existing
residents. These will include two, three, four, five and seven bed
space homes. All houses have separate front doors off the street.
A separate four bay infill terrace completes the missing street
frontage on Summerhill Terrace to the North.
The scheme has to be built in three phases to avoid decanting residents
off site.
