I am quite sure you could have high density housing and provide a grassy play area as well as more formal landscaped areas for adults to enjoy. Seeing the related thread about the Phoenix Park Racecourse site getting ready to become the latest mock-Tudor ‘stunning’ development, I can;t help but wonder why we can’t find a middle way between these two extremes: low density suburban sprawl with plenty of gardens (front and back) and parkland and higher density blocks with nothing except an overly formal, impractical landscaped area.
Theres a really interesting development going on in Artane at the moment (currently in early stages). They are townhouses/apartments but each has its own garden. The gardens are all staggered, some high up some down low, some are even down a short passage from the building at the rear of other gardens, but over all it looks like a nice development.
Definatley an innovative way of providing space. I have the sales brochure but don’t know if they have a home online. The name of the development is Timbermill.
