The concept for Egremont came out of the idea of sustainable building on Killiney Hill with views to the mountains – a series of green fingers that would provide state of the art passive housing in an intensely planted landscape with excellent design anchoring the scheme. These fingers have private and public space threaded through with mature trees creating the boundaries and stunning views to the Dublin & Wicklow mountains from across the site. Natural and sustainable materials run through the scheme in a holistic way – the stone that was excavated from the site has been re-used in gabions, the roofs are green sedum providing water attenuation. The homes are all dual aspect: Passive House technologies are seamlessly integrated with beautiful spaces that have been carefully designed to answer the needs of modern life.
Located on Church Road in Killiney, County Dublin, the homes in Egremont are A2-rated and all electric, heated by an integrated air-based heating and ventilation system in the smaller units, and air-to-water heat pumps in the larger ones. Developed by Durkan Residential and designed by Ruth O’Herlihy of architects McCullough Mulvin, the development also saw consulting input from Irish passive house pioneer Tomas O’Leary of MosArt.
