Urban infill at its creative best, masterful planning, maximising a restricted steep sloping and difficult site, to form six well crafted terraced houses and car park, which satisfies at all levels, that is, when disregarding the vulnerability of unprotected pavement entrances. The visual separation from adjoining properties, projection of zinc clad bays straddling recessed porches, punctuated by curvilinear dormers set against plain stuccoed walls, creates a dynamic rhythm to this refreshingly modernist stepped block, admirably reflecting the scale and character of perhaps Cork City's oldest quarter.
