A destination with an emphasis on connectivity and landmark features in form of gateways, community hubs, and activities connecting land with water.

South Docks

Cork

The South Docks’ landscape approach focuses on a strong emphasis on integrating historic remnants and materiality in relation to resilient blue and green infrastructure that will function as a recreational experience as well as future proofing the site.

The landscape provides green links and connectors throughout the site that strengthens the connectivity for users, vegetation and biodiversity with flexible and adaptive space integrating ecologically focused planting palettes.

Implementing and retaining traces of the industrial use of the site provides a soft transition between the dockside and the urban development to the south. This linking strategy is replicated in the accessibility between buildings and the surrounding landscape.
