RE-INVENTING LIMERICK DOCKLANDS COMPETITION (Murray O’Laoire)

Limerick City Council / Shannon Development / Shannon Foynes Port Company
In association with a team of economists, engineers, transport specialists and planners, Murray O’Laoire Architects prepared an approach to a strategic development plan for the Docklands area of Limerick City.

Limerick Docklands represents a key expansion area for Limerick City which necessitates a forward-thinking and co-ordinated development proposal to ensure a phased and regulated expansion approach. The Team proposed a knowledgeable yet innovative approach to advancing a strategic solution for the development of the Docklands.

It detailed such issues as strategic site objectives, development guideline principles, linkage opportunities, public open space networks, infrastructure requirements, all of which would support and contribute to the proposed development.

The approach adopted for the realisation of a strategic development plan promoted an overall Master Plan as an intrinsic element of the market analysis, reflecting and ordering the demand trends emerging from this analysis, promoting a well designed and economically viable extension to Limerick City.
