Egremont comprises 47 PassivHaus units at Church Road in Killiney for Durkan Residential. The scheme has a mix of apartments and houses with varied garden spaces - public, private and play - giving a sense of community and ownership to the occupants.

Sustainability is at the heart of the scheme, with “fingers” of accommodation with green roofs running through the site, among existing trees, allowing the landscape to dominate and views to the Wicklow mountains from all parts of the site.

This transfers through the internal planning of the houses, providing interesting rooms with good views, dual aspect living areas and cross-ventilation. All of the houses have flexible options for uses and are designed for whole life living.

Natural and sustainable materials and strategies have been employed holistically for the entire site with stone and timber re-used to form the landscape and play pieces.
