DOLPHIN’S BARN

Dublin City Council commissioned HCoA to provide a public realm improvement plan in 2017 followed by a Part 8 application.

The focus of the project is on the intersection between the South Circular Road and Dolphin’s Barn at what is locally known as Coleman’s Corner. The aim of the project is to create an enhanced public realm providing a sense of identity and a coherent vision for the environmental and physical development of Dolphin’s Barn Village.

The ambition of the proposal is to provide a unifying palette of details and materials across the public realm which gives a sense of coherence. The materials are chosen with regard to the varying contexts of Dolphin’s Barn, their integration into surrounding areas and, in consultation with Dublin City Council, with regard to durability and replace-ability.
