An Bord Pleanála have granted planning permission to developer Brian M Durkan & Co to build 265 apartments on the site of a disused Dulux Paint Factory on Davitt Road, Dublin 12.
The scheme will consist of 265 ‘Build-to-Rent’ units that will be arranged in 4 housing blocks ranging in height from 3 to 7 storeys. The development will include a retail/café unit, a resident’s gym, 119 car parking spaces, internal semi-public paths, public and private open spaces and all communal facilities including refuse and bike parking.
Ideally located on the Canal and Luas line, this large scheme is expected to rejuvenate the Drimnagh area as the 0.83 hectares site has been dormant for years.
3D Design Bureau developed several verified view montages, architectural CGIs and BRE daylight analysis reports which assisted Brian M Durkan to receive a clean grant from planners.
Managing Director of 3D Design Bureau, Nicholas Polley stated; “There was a very close working relationship on the project between John Fleming Architects and planning consultants, Brock McClure Consultants.” He added “Through this collaborative approach the scheme was tweaked in terms of design to ensure that it did not negatively impact the existing environment, from both a visual and day-lighting perspective.”
