'Upside-down' housing scheme planned for site of former Cork city pub

The bedrooms and bathroom are on the ground floor and the living/kitchen/dining space is on the first floor of the development

The proposed residential development on the site of the former Evergreen Bar in Cork city which has been described as a reworking of the Victorian back-to-back housing scheme. 

A planning application has been lodged for an 'upside-down living' residential development on the site of a vacant former pub in Cork City.

Against the backdrop of the housing crisis, the architects behind the proposal for the site of the former Evergreen Bar in Turners Cross say the idea is to create a new innovative housing model that will allow for the “modest densification and renewal” of a site that could also deliver a suitable approach to compact growth on similar sites which are dotted across the city.
