7 Lucky Lane
7, Lucky Lane, Dublin, Ireland
Two terraced mews houses, and a
further two under construction, mark the beginnings of a new street on an
existing lane in the dense inner city area of Stoneybatter, Dublin. In all ten
identical terraced houses have so far been granted permission to homeowners on
Aughrim Street intent on developing their large back gardens onto the lane.
The new mews houses are at the
interface of artisan terraced housing of Carnew Street and larger terraced
townhouses of Aughrim Street. In conversation with the existing returns of the
artisan dwellings onto the lane and the larger terraced townhouses to the rear,
a 'double return' mews typology is developed by employing a return to both the
front and rear of the new mews houses. The massing of the houses, solid brick
versus translucent screen and sliding door, begins an alternating rhythm onto
the lane.
A repeating bracket-like party wall
of light polychromatic stock brick establishes the recurring structure and
enclosure for the new houses. In more private quarters on the ground floor
fair-faced blockwork is employed as a consequence of cost. Glazed sliding
screens further articulate the enclosure within this order. For each house two
external ground floor courtyards are provided; one off-street car space to the
lane and another planted courtyard to the rear. On entering the birch ply-lined
hall one can access two bedrooms, a study and ancillary accommodation or
continue upstairs to the kitchen-dining-living space. In order to avail of
favourable light on the first floor a morning terrace and an evening terrace
are located diagonally on either side of this first floor space.
To meet the criteria of low-carbon
housing, oil and gas
generated energy are avoided in favour of an air
source heat pump supplemented by solar panels on the roof. Additionally any solar gain from the first floor is
re-circulated to the ground floor rooms as space heating
with the assistance of a mechanical heat recovery
unit.
