Log Boat Bank, Drogheda
Riverside private dwelling and four apartments — granted planning permission
Overview
This riverside site sits in the centre of Drogheda, Co. Louth, overlooking a unique waterside setting at Log Boat Bank.
The development provides a private three-bedroom dwelling and four apartments, including social housing, in a compact, carefully considered scheme.
Design approach
The design employs aesthetic, robust and durable finishes across the full development, responding to the riverside context and the character of central Drogheda.
Future residents' enjoyment of the river frontage and the wider townscape is at the heart of the layout, with carefully framed views, generous glazing and considered outdoor spaces.
Place-making and tenure
The scheme is conceived as a tenure blind development, ensuring that social housing and private units are indistinguishable in terms of quality, access and amenity.
By combining high-quality architecture, durable materials and a clear relationship to the riverside, the project creates a strong sense of place and a small, characterful community within the town centre.
