Aoibhneas Centre

RMDA were engaged to design the external environment for Aoibhneas, a vital community facility providing support and accommodation for women and children. The project required a sensitive and thoughtful approach for an outdoor space that promoted wellbeing and a sense of calm.

​

The landscape design provides for a shared communal space. Planting strategies were selected to enhance biodiversity while also offering seasonal colour, texture, and sensory value.

​

This project demonstrates how considered external environments can enhance the therapeutic role of architecture while supporting resilience, dignity and empowerment for residents.
