If approved, the building in Dún Laoghaire, planned by Bartra Capital Property, will be the largest such development in the country.
"It is a modern form of accommodation for today's young workers. Dublin is a very international city and this type of accommodation has proved very successful internationally," said James Cormican, head of development co-living at Bartra Capital Property Group. Lecturer in Housing Studies at TU Dublin Lorcan Sirr said Bartra was "squeezing five of these bedrooms into what is typically the size of a two bedroom apartment.
"We are going in at a price level that would be below a typical, one-bed apartment in the area," said Mr Cormican."Residents will have access to laundry facilities, gym facilities. There will be a real focus on social interaction and that is what ultimately is the big attraction of these type of schemes."
"There is no experience within Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council for car free developments. Applicant advised that they are taking the risk for not providing any parking," the planners added. The shared space is used to watch sports and TV shows along with organised events like table quizzes. "A lot of our residents are mobile so they can work from home. Some would also use the shared space to work during the day".

LouiseByrneNews Almost 80 years of existence of the USSR many of the Soviet people had to live in so called “kommunalka” (individual bedrooms but shared kitchen and bathroom). It’s funny to observe as Bartra is trying to promote now something similar to the Irish.

LouiseByrneNews More of the housing fiasco. There’s thousands of “housing” units being built in cherrywood. The majority of which are for sale as buy to let only. A social disaster dressed up as a housing policy.

LouiseByrneNews Highly inaccurate report Louise. Node was the first purpose built development but these sort of arrangements abound in Dublin 4 and Dublin 6. I had a friend living in one of these houses run by PDP and it was a disaster with fetid conditions.
