Pavilions Place and terminating at the public square of the Metro Plaza, where it<br />
will link in with Upper Street to the east of the R132, within the Barrysparks lands.<br />
Malahide Place<br />
This will be located at the intersection with the Malahide Road and entrance to<br />
the Pavilions scheme. This area will be a multi level space which will incorporate<br />
parts of the inclined street, The Rise, and incorporate a green corridor between<br />
the R132 and the Main Street.<br />
CHARACTER<br />
● Malahide Place shall be a well defined and landscaped urban space, located<br />
at the pedestrian and bus entry point to the Pavilions development area<br />
from the Malahide Road. This space will be characterised by various forms<br />
of movement including cars, buses, cyclists and pedestrians<br />
● The space shall include a uniform surface treatment, to create a sense of<br />
place, while rationalising the various forms of movement and traffic moving<br />
through this space.<br />
DESIGN<br />
● The Pavilions development facade at Malahide Place shall have active<br />
frontages at ground level consisting of café and food related activities including<br />
a number of kiosk units along the inclined street to aid in the achievement<br />
of an animated and active façade throughout the day and into the evening.<br />
● As part of the landscape strategy the planting of trees shall aid to further<br />
define zones of movement and re-enforce the existing mature stand of trees<br />
along the western edge of Malahide Road.<br />
● It shall contain taxi and bus stop; the connection for bus and pedestrian<br />
movement up The Rise and a major entrance to Mall Street (at Level 0)<br />
while extending to the main service and parking entry further east along<br />
