We are delighted to announce the appointment of McCullough Mulvin, with Todd Architects, as part of a multi-disciplinary Design Team to design and lead the development of a new Residential Care Neighbourhood at Grangegorman, Dublin for the Grangegorman Development Agency on behalf of the Health Service Executive.

This project will be an innovative model of person-centred care, focused on empowering its residents to live independently within a supported domestic setting. Our design features a number of households which pivot around courtyard gardens, providing a connection between the individual’s private life with the wider community.

The building will stitch together City and University and is set a tight urban site, along one of the cardinal green fingers of the Grangegorman masterplan. It proposes a household model of care, with c.100 beds arranged in a jigsaw of interlocking two storey clusters. Five households, divided into dual clusters of 10 or 12 rooms, set around a kitchen and garden, create memorable places for older people to live in dignity and independence.

The design is now at pre-planning stage.

Faela Guiden MRIAI, Associate at McCullough Mulvin, will be speaking about the project at the Women in Architecture event at Grangegorman on Thursday 20^th June.
