Planning Approval for Dublin Care Home

23 May 2025

We’re delighted to announce that planning permission has been secured for a new five-storey care home in Dublin, purposefully designed to provide care, comfort and support to 96 residents.

This project reflects best practice guidance from the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) and the Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC).

The design promotes small group living with a homely, domestic feel—creating “neighbourhoods” that can be further subdivided to support residents’ varying needs, especially those living with dementia.

Across all five levels, thoughtfully placed activity rooms, lounges, quiet rooms, a café, hairdresser, cinema room and dining areas help foster community and ease of access.

Materiality has been selected with warmth and dignity in mind—clay brick provides texture and human scale, complemented by white brick accents and green roofs. Generous areas of high-performance glazing offer views out and a sense of connection to the wider environment.

This is an important milestone for the project, and we look forward to taking this project into the next stages.
