Tour Information +
Join DCC Parks and City Architects for a guided tour of Bridgefoot Street Park and Bonham Court residential development, located in the Liberties area of Dublin.
Designed by DFLA for DCC Parks, Biodiversity and Landscape Services Division, the award-winning Bridgefoot Street Park is a major public park for the Liberties and the city of Dublin. It has transformed this part of Dublin and acts as a major resource for local residents, other citizens and tourists. The design of the park responds to local demands for an urban park, including a playground, community garden and performance space. The park is a showcase for biodiversity in an urban setting and makes use of recycled materials throughout.
Designed by Levitt Bernstein Architects with ABK Architects for DCC Housing & Community Services, the 57-apartment development of Bonham Court presents a dramatic backdrop to the Park. Bonham Court is one of DCC’s first multi-storey MMC (Modern Methods of Construction) projects, making use of off-site manufacturing, and achieved Home Performance Index (HPI) certification, demonstrating the sustainability of these new homes.
The park and the residential development have made significant contributions to the regeneration of this urban site and provide high quality amenity space and homes in this part of the city.
The tour will begin in Bridgefoot Street Park. During the tour, we will provide you with an overview of the design of the Park as well as providing an overview of the architectural design and off-site construction system used for the apartment development. The tour will also provide the opportunity to view the landscaped courtyard which has been designed as an inviting communal space for residents to enjoy.
Please note tour at 12:00PM will be delivered in English and tour at 1:00PM will be delivered in Irish / as Gaeilge.
