2 Housing Reuben Street Reuben Street 8 Dublin The pace at which certain parts of the city of Dublin are being developed is aggressively challenging the spatial and physical memory of Dubliners This is certainly true in the Liberties, one of the oldest parts of the city and the location of this housing scheme by FKL Their strategy was to design two restrained, L-shaped red brick blocks and sit them down on a grey stone and mosaic tile plinth This distinct separation of elements allows this landmark to do what others often miss - to operate simultaneously in the local and wider urban context The solid, muscular masonry forms ensure this building is seen from a considerable distance, always maintaining a clear, non-reflective clean silhouette FKL have made a seminal contribution to Dublin's discussion about how to make a collection of homes that still offer individual expression 2006 FKL s Diamond Leather EmmettScanlon 2

3 House at Richmond Place Richmond Place D6 Dublin This little house in Dublin picks up on the once heroic idea that built form can exert a positive pressure on individuals to venture outside and find some good company Across the road from it is a tall yellow-bricked, golden gable, solidly built with a tiny white window and delicate curtain the only signs of the domestic life inside Taking the density of the gable as a point of departure, the new house appears as a solid brick extrusion, which then, in response to the sloping ground condition and a wish to capture light and views, has been sliced, layered and rotated up and around, creating overhangs and shelters and cut brick walls to make edges and yards, the baked inside-face of the yellow bricks on the tops of walls beautifully revealed as a deep, pure purple Infused with an emotional, witty intelligence, the house seems to be intent on subtly turning typical domestic forms inside out - and putting occupant, home and neighbourhood back together again 2005 Boyd Cody architects Undisclosed EmmettScanlon 3
