Grangecastle International Business Park is a joint venture
between IDA Ireland and South Dublin County Council. The
Park is the main location for world leading pharmaceutical
companies, and the brief for the Park was to create an
appropriate landscape for these activities.
The first stage of the commission was the design and
construction of the main attenuation lake. This feature
attenuates all of the stormwater flows from the Park.
The lake is configured as a two tier element, and there
are fountains which recirculate the water during the summer
months, in addition to providing a dramatic feature to
the parkland setting.
Further phases of the commission have included the landscape
treatment to the main avenue, and landscape design and
planning of the River Griffeen diversion. The practice
has also been retained to design and construct the landscape
in the environs of the new Takeda Pharma facility on the
site.
