Dunmurry village developed at the turn of the last century as a settlement of tightly grouped terraced houses aligned with the topography of the hillsides rising away from the railway tracks. Textile mills, a church and a school were the the foci of the place. This resulted in a legible urban plan with brick terraces and front doors to human scaled, open ended streets. Our intention was to continue this pattern within the proposal, creating a permeable plan that reflects a familiar and historic streetscape character of distinctive terraced streets huddled around elegant and robust industrial buildings.
