Located close to Cabinteely Park, eight miles from the centre of Dublin, the Watermint development is a collection of 13 apartments, built using a host of energy-efficient features, including over 400 Greenled LED lamps.
Dublin architecture practice, DMOD, was responsible for obtaining planning permission for the development. Project architect, Gemma Dwyer, explains more about how the development is coming together. "Sustainable design has been at the forefront of design considerations from the outset," she says. "The building's fabric, form and orientation were carefully used to work with the environment, and practical sustainable solutions have been employed throughout."
