MAGEE CREEDON KEARNS - Award Winning Architects

North Main Street and Cross Court

RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS

North Main Street and Cross Court development is an award winning residential scheme in the heart of Cork city that was built over two phases. Phase 1 consists of 2 apartments and 2 two-storey duplexes over a shop and phase two consists of 5 apartments over the rear of the same shop.

The scheme successfully exploits a narrow site by following the medieval patterns of the city and reinstates the use of an existing lane.

Private open space is provided in a courtyard and a roof terrace over the shop that link back to the apartments with galvanised steel bridges.
