create sustainable urban environments.
Developing or regenerating is about
building a long-term future and creating
a place where people come first. That is
why HKR’s approach to masterplanning
and urban design focuses on creating
environments where people can live and
work in a safe, integrated community.


Our Masterplanning Process

HKR's masterplanning team creates designs Urban Design projects are often highly HKR’s approach to masterplanning
that address the social and economic complex. At HKR we begin by defining and urban design focuses on creating
requirements of a site’s location. a clear and comprehensive agenda that environments where people can live and
covers all the critical factors for analysis work in a safe, integrated community.
We do this by first undertaking a detailed and implementation, including:
contextual and socio-economic appraisal of
the site, then planning workable strategies › Prospective land use

› Land use › Structure and grain

› Transport › Density and mix

› Planning—both existing and › Scale, height and massing

› Development—with clear parameters › Sustainability

› Adaptability and diversity

› Open space and amenities
› Details and materials


Our Approach to Urbanism

HKR's philosophy is about delivering design:

› rooted in context
› a scaled response
› space positive design
› loosefit flexibility
and in the end, about the people.

foundation of Urban Design.

Every building can and should engage in a
dialog with the history, beliefs and needs of
a particular place and time.


a scaled response...

People interact with their environment
based on their physical dimensions,
capabilities and limits.

Buildings scaled to human physical
capabilities have steps, doorways, railings,
work surfaces, seating, walking distances,
and other features that fit well to the
average person.

People also interact with their environments
based on their sensory capabilities.

The human perception is not purely a
physical act, it is affected by cultural
factors, personal preferences, experiences,
and expectations.

At HKR we understand that scale in
architecture should always respond to human
requirements and benefit the people who are
living there.


loosefit flexibility...

01 St James' Dock 02

HKR has designed a mixed use scheme
of 670,000 sq ft for this 3.2 acre site,
incorporating offices, residential, medical
and retail accommodation.

This site at St James’ Dock is located in
Dublin 8, within walking distance of the
city centre.

The importance of the site today is
concealed beneath low-grade industrial
building stock. It is zoned for mixed use in
the Dublin City Development Plan of which
offices, retail and residential will be the
predominant uses, to facilitate employment
and residential activity in the area.

01 Dublin City Markets 02

A collaborative design team formed by
HKR Architects, Make Architects and
Gehl Architects has been selected to
redesign and redevelop Dublin’s famous
City Markets.

Focusing on the redesign and revival of
the site of the 19th century fruit, vegetable
and fish markets near the Four Courts,
north of Dublin’s River Liffey, the project is
to be completed on behalf of the Markets
Regeneration Consortium, and forms part
of Dublin City Council’s Markets Area Draft
Framework Plan.

The brief is to develop a new gastronomic
centre for Dublin with the redeveloped
fish market site as the area’s focal point.
The brief also includes the proposed
regeneration of the Fruit and Vegetable
Market building at the heart of the mixed
use development.

In response to the brief, the strong
working collaboration between HKR, Make
and Gehl has produced a design which
opens up the site and transforms it into a
dynamic new urban focal point.

Combining world-class architecture with
the creation of a generous new public
space, the proposals will revitalise the area
with a rich mix of uses including retail and
wholesale markets, residential and office
accommodation, and food shops and
restaurants.

of the 300,000 sq ft Heuston Gateway
in Dublin. The primary remit was to
re-examine the Heuston Gateway
Regeneration Strategy 2003, addressing
four key areas.

› The creation of a new pedestrian place
in front of the station where transfer
between modes of transport can
happen.

‘Heuston Square’ is to be a significant
space in the city of which Dubliners can
be proud.

› The development of Heuston Station as
a transport node, improving transfers
between modes of transport and
elevating the station to a world class
interchange.

The study was to test the assumptions
of the 2003 strategy and fully examine

The growing town of Melnik, located north

HKR has been appointed to masterplan
a site within the town of 120,000 sq ft,
which is currently in retail and cultural use.
The site is adjacent to a square, which is
now over-run with parking. There is a drop
of about four meters across the site, due to
the city’s hilltop location.

includes a hotel and leisure centre.
