Planning Approved for €20m Student Accommodation, Parnell Street | 3D Design Bureau
Approved through the fast-track planning process, this strategic housing development located on the east end of Parnell Street will provide 257 student beds.
The apartments will be built in blocks ranging from four storeys at Parnell Street to eight storeys at the northern perimeter of the site close to Temple Lane. All the existing buildings on site are planned for demolition, except the early 20th century offices of St Peter’s Bakery which face on to Parnell Street.
The applicants plan to renovate the bakery office building, a protected structure designed by Charles Herbert Ashworth and built by prolific Dublin builder CJ Crampton in 1906.
CGI Consultants, 3D Design Bureau worked closely with DTA Architects to produce aerial photo montages, verified view montages and architectural CGIs to ensure that this sensitive site did not impede on the busy surrounding area which played a part in the planning application process.
