Key Principles
What are the key principles informing our design approach for the Donore Project?
A Sustainable Neighbourhood
The proposals aim to deliver a vibrant and compact neighbourhood built on the principles of sustainable development. These proposals will incorporate social and cost-rental homes, supported by recreational amenities, enhancing community development and wellbeing.
A Connected Place
The Donore Project is nestled within a well-established urban community. The development vision is to enhance this connectivity and permeability with a network of new activated streets and public spaces to and from this community. Cycling and walking links will be provided which will support active and sustainable travel options.
Integrating
The Donore Project site is centrally located in Dublin City and within a long-established community. This offers the opportunity to connect, integrate and contribute to the vibrancy of the local community and beyond with new residential development providing homes into an established and expanding community.
Building Community
The new Donore Project neighbourhood will include a number of home sizes and quality designs to suit a range of household sizes, ages and incomes, establishing the conditions for an inclusive and cohesive community for the long term.
