The site present an unused pocket of green land adjacent to both a train line and a canal, situated to the south of Dublin Industrial Estate and
North of Cabra. The siteas it currently exists forms a barrier between the area to the south and the canal, and divides the Industrial Estate from
Broombridge Business Centre, which is an extension of the Estate south of the canal. With the Luas Line BXD’s Maintenance facilities proposed
to be housed here, my initial reaction was to attempt to integrate the Luas, the Businesses present, the community and the canal through the
creation of a transport hub, the introduction of retail to the site and the inhabitation of the site by residents, which would also help to blur the line
between the Business Centre and the adjacent neighbourhood,

Initial design
The concept began as a plinth raised above the train line from the level of the street, along which a number of formal elements were arranged.
These elements then facilitated lightweight structures housing the public elements of the programme, and allowed a spanning structure to cross
the canal.

Astheprojectdeveloped,themonolithicpodiumbegantobedefinedastwo smaller, functionally seperate areas; one for the commercial activity around the station and shopping facilities, one more private area for the
residents of the area. The areas between them became much softer, and far less formalized, inviting the users to inhabit them as they liked, and
to use the newer throughways as means of navigating from one area to another, and from one side of the canal to the other.

A tectonic idea began to develop about inhabitation and the patterns brought on by ownership. I decided early on to implement a modular tim-berframesystem,whichcouldbetreateddifferentlytodefineparticular
functions, and a manually operable cladding system that could be opened or closed as the users felt necessary. The idea of a rolling timber lat sys-
tem developed from here.
