Chelmsford Road,
Ranelagh, Dublin
The Chelmsford Road development transforms a constrained urban infill site into a high-quality residential scheme that masterfully balances historical sensitivity with modern sustainability. Nestled between a protected structure and a commercial premises, the project utilises carefully considered proportions and materials to integrate seamlessly into its historic streetscape while delivering six A-rated, compact units that prioritise affordability and Universal Design.
Innovation is at the heart of the design, featuring one of Ireland’s first residential blue roof systems to manage water run-off alongside green landscaping that enhances local biodiversity. By combining energy-efficient construction with inclusive, step-free layouts, the development demonstrates how thoughtful architecture can overcome complex site limitations to provide healthy, socially sustainable homes in a well-connected urban setting.
