PKA : URBANISM : Heuston Gate. Dublin
Heuston Gate. Dublin
PKA was commissioned by the Office of Public Works in 2001 as consultant architects for the OPW’s major urban renewal project at Military Road Kilmainham. PKA’s masterplan aims to advance the regeneration of this part of the city; by creating an attractive streetscape, active ground level uses and a vibrant urban environment.
In addition to restoration of the existing protected structures and monuments on the site, the scheme includes a total of fourteen individual buildings, combining work, living, leisure and commercial uses.
The development also contains proposals for Dublin’s tallest structure - PKA’s 32 storey residential tower - with a roof-top publicly accessible observation deck.
Planning approval was obtained in 2005, and construction is scheduled to be phased over ten years. Both Dublin City Council and An Bord Pleanala’s approvals particularly cited the quality of PKA’s architecture and urban design as grounds for the grant of planning permission for the development.
