Large apartment has family appeal

No 29 The Seasons in Carrigaline is central and well designed, Rose Martin reports.

APARTMENTS and families? No, no, the two don’t mix, we are told. But perhaps that’s not necessarily so — well designed units can provide that village mix that planners and consultants brayed about during the boom.

Apartments have had a bad press — many units were designed on the cheap, had poor management and were poorly let. And multiple units don’t work where the rules are ignored — they are only suited to high density living, cities and towns, and they have to be well designed and, more importantly, well constructed.
