Riparian RestorationUrban DesignFlood Mitigation
A proposal to reconnect Dublin to its river through naturalistic planting and gentle interventions that would soften the Liffey's engineered edges. Native willow, iris, and meadow grasses would transform sterile quay walls into living habitats.

Our Approach
We would develop a "soft edge" strategy that introduces floating wetland platforms and terraced planting shelves along sections of the quay wall, creating riparian habitat without compromising flood capacity.
