Integrating Stillorgan’s suburban character with the N11’s scale, this project creates a vibrant urban block featuring five buildings around tiered courtyards. The scheme combines residential units with two levels of retail and dining, set within a high-quality public realm. This development revitalizes Stillorgan, fostering a dense, active, and sustainable community.
Stillorgan Village is a suburban settlement, the character of which is informed by the N11 and its associated scale, and the low-rise nature of the traditional Dublin suburb. The concept for the subject site is to create a strong urban block with an active and vibrant streetscape on all sides. The scheme contains 5 buildings, arranged around two internal courtyards. Residential units are located above two levels of retail and restaurant spaces lining a generous new public realm with squares, steps, planting and sitting areas.
The buildings’ massing addresses the various neighbouring conditions, from 2-storeys housing to the Lower Kilmacud Road and the Sillorgan Road beyond. The internal residential upper courtyard is split over two levels, and the lower courtyard is shared between this scheme and the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council housing project to its east. The scheme will complement the ongoing significant changes to Stillorgan Village, which include the redevelopment of neighbouring sites. The cumulative impact of the development of these key sites will transform Stillorgan village centre in terms of scale, character, quality of public realm and vitality. Importantly the development will give the area a substantial resident population, an essential component of any vibrant urban village.
