Fairview Park is a popular city park identified by Dublin City Council as having a deficiency of facilities for the public including refreshment, restrooms and community amenity. The brief proposes a new Tearoom, conversion of an existing lodge to toilets, and a new public space to link in with the proposed Dublin Bay Greenway cycle route.
Our design was inspired by the scale and forms of Japanese tearooms and garden structures from an unrealised 1920’s masterplan for the park. The masterplan shows a formal entrance to the park at the current site with a series of pitched roof structures scattered throughout the park. A truncated pitched roof defines the tearooms within the park to create shelter and entrance between the new open public space to the front and enclosed walled garden to the rear.
