Age-Friendly Apartment Development, Waterford City

This age-friendly apartment development in Waterford City has been designed to provide high-quality, comfortable living within a safe, inclusive and well-connected urban setting. The project responds carefully to the needs of older residents, promoting independence, dignity and community engagement through thoughtful architectural and landscape design.

The four-storey development is arranged to create a clear, legible layout with strong visual connections and intuitive circulation. Step-free access is provided throughout, with generous lift cores, wide corridors and well-lit communal areas that enhance ease of movement and personal security. Apartments are designed to maximise natural daylight, outlook and ventilation, while private balconies offer residents valuable outdoor amenity.

The architectural language combines contemporary detailing with a restrained material palette of brick, render and glazed elements, ensuring the building sits comfortably within its surroundings while maintaining a modern identity. Active frontages and landscaped communal spaces contribute to a welcoming streetscape and encourage social interaction among residents.

Sustainability and long-term adaptability were central to the design approach, with durable materials, energy-efficient construction and flexible internal layouts supporting the building’s longevity and future needs. The result is a dignified, well-considered residential environment that supports ageing in place and enhances quality of life in the heart of Waterford City.
