In support of the Dublin City Council’s Masterplan for the Integrated Redevelopment of the Gulistan Depot Lands, ABK Architects prepared a strategic proposal for a new mixed-use neighbourhood, which responds and contributes to the rich character of Rathmines.
The proposal integrates 141 new homes, (47 Age-friendly one-bedroom apartments with communal gardens together with 94 one and two-bedroom dwellings) a new primary care centre, a community facility and a public square with existing communities while enhancing connections to Rathmines village.
Well-crafted architecture will protect and improve the amenity of existing residents and provide generous new homes for a sustainable neighbourhood. Public realm landscaping to promote active travel and biodiversity will create a new civic space benefiting local business and complimenting existing uses and activities in the surrounding area.
