School Street

Planning approval has been granted for the regeneration of School Street / Thomas Court Bawn Estate in Dublin 8, on behalf of Dublin City Council. The scheme delivers 124 new social homes and a childcare facility on a 0.65-hectare site in The Liberties, within walking distance of Dublin city centre.

The project is part of Dublin City Council’s regeneration programme. It involves the demolition of the existing Thomas Court Bawn block and the deep retrofit and extension of the existing School Street Flats, a 1964 building that will be retained and upgraded rather than demolished, significantly reducing the embodied carbon of the overall scheme. It includes significant public realm improvements such as shared amenity spaces, new pedestrian connections and landscaped areas.
