Three blocks to house 244 build-to-rent flats “immersed” in trees
International practice Urban Agency has unveiled its plans for a 244-home residential scheme in Dublin inspired by treehouses.
The build-to-rent scheme, known as Cross Avenue, will be located on a suburban site in the south-east of the Irish capital on a site populated by a large number of mature trees.
该事务所在都柏林设有办公室，他们表示，保留树木是该项目的“核心优先事项和灵感点”。
The design has sought to emulate the “immersive” concept of a treehouse by “submerging” the buildings in the surrounding trees, the practice added.
The 19,000sq m scheme will consist of three stepped blocks ranging in height from one to nine storeys, with each block using a different reference to the arboreal setting on their facades.
一个区块将使用遮阳板来“唤起穿过树叶树冠的斑驳光线”，另一个区块将由分支斜梁组成，第三个区块将以垂直的树干状柱子为特色。
Climbing plants and greenery will also be planted on the buildings’ roofs and facades to further integrate the scheme with the surrounding trees, the practice said.
The development, which has been approved for planning, has been designed for Dublin-based developer Lioncor with the project team including landscape architect NMP Landscape.
Urban Agency also has offices in Copenhagen, Dusseldorf and Lyon.
