Timberyard Social Housing
Project: Timberyard Social Housing
Architect: O'Donnell & Tuomey Architects
The development consists of a new housing scheme comprising of 47 dwellings and a street level community facility in the historic Liberties area of Dublin. The project was generated by the construction of the Coombe By Pass. A backland site was opened up and the urban design requirement was for a new street frontage to heal the wounds caused by the road engineering operation. The design centres on a new public space on the site of a former timber yard, making a residential enclave with a sense of place.
