Pine Avenue

Client Wardville
Location Foxrock, Dublin
Size 2,150sq.m
Status Complete

Plus Architecture have recently completed the construction of a scheme of 20 apartments in an articulated terrace in the south Dublin suburb of Foxrock.

Foxrock is an established south Dublin suburb, characterised by well planted streets and open spaces. The housing stock has traditionally been large detached housing of good quality and size, however more recently apartment typologies are becoming more common, to better utilise transport corridors the locality enjoys. Whilst different in typology, a commonality of high quality and generously sized living accommodation has been carried into this housing scheme.

The site of the apartments at Pine Avenue is elevated relative to its surroundings, with all apartments enjoying distant views out over Dublin bay to the east and the Dublin hills to the south and west. Whilst distant views allow residents experience these natural features, the design intent to preserve existing Pine trees on the site and sit the development into this setting, allows new residents to experience a well planted, screened and mature immediate context.

The design of the site is in three buildings, broken into vertically articulated elements, coming forward and upwards at the centre of the site. The massing strategy allows the development to recede into the surrounding trees and not appear as a dominant form. The site strategy also allows the slope of the site to bury a parking structure beneath a south facing residents garden. All apartments are triple aspect, with south facing living spaces, west-facing bedrooms and service spaces ventilated on their third fenestrated façade.

The context is a material palate formed predominantly with natural granite stone and white render, accordingly the material palate employed in the development carries this local context into the material use strategy. It is augmented with simple detailing in glass for window sliders, balustrades and privacy screens.

The Walled Garden in Dundrum, Co. Dublin is a resi The Walled Garden in Dundrum, Co. Dublin is a residential apartment development of 144 apartments, completed in 2022. The site of the apartment development is within the stone enclosing walls of the historic walled garden associated with the house that was originally known as Gortmore, constructed in mid-1850s.
Positioned adjacent and outside of the enclosing walls of the Walled Garden itself, the stable yard is arranged in a four sided courtyard, three sides formed by narrow stone buildings, with pitched roof forms and the fourth side enclosed with a stone wall and gated entrance.

As part of the wider residential development, was proposed the restoration and repurposing of these stone buildings to convert them to amenity use for the new residents, with mix of uses including residential management and concierge, lounge space, co-working & meeting space, gym and associated service spaces.

Pre-existing on site was a two storey mid-century detached dwelling, formerly owned by Waterways Ireland and in disrepair. The redevelopment infilled and joined the adjacent 4-storey terraces with a new apartment building containing 8 new apartments.

We have recently completed a refurbishment and mod We have recently completed a refurbishment and modernisation of a Protected Structure in Dublin city centre. 
No. 5 Dame lane was constructed circa 1906 to designs by Bachelor & Hicks Architects. The 4-storey over basement building was constructed as an extension to the earlier Hely Printworks Building and is included in the Record of Protected Structures on account of the early use of the Hennebique reinforced concrete construction system. Plus Architecture were engaged to refurbish the building to current office standards including the insertion of an entirely new stair, lift and toilet core.
