RETAIL, OFFICE AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

BARNA, CO. GALWAY

Mixed, Retail, Commercial and Residential Development over basement Car-Park.

Located in the centre of Barna Village the proposed scheme is a mixed use development of retail and office accommodation, residential- apartments and town houses as well as a community centre facility over an underground car-park. The prominent location of the site is an opportunity to create an attractive new development that will provide a good mix of uses that work well together and in the village context, a place where people can live, work, shop, recreate. The heart of the proposed development features a village square type open space using the language of streetscape with shops at ground level and office and apartments above. The intention is to promote a seamless integration of the new development into the existing built village context and the pedestrian realm employing vernacular references, detail and materials in a clean contemporary style. Height and massing chosen to echo established rural town streetscapes.
