Farney Park in Sandymount, Dublin, places a strong emphasis on materiality, with St. Ives Cream Rustica brick serving as the defining element of its character. The textured, cream-toned brickwork gives the development a warmth and timeless quality. The light, rustic finish balances modern design with a tactile sense of craftsmanship, allowing the buildings to sit comfortably within the coastal context of Sandymount while still standing out as contemporary and refined.
The use of St. Ives Cream Rustica brick goes beyond simple cladding, shaping the overall rhythm and articulation of the development. Its creamy hue reflects natural light in changing tones throughout the day, softening the built environment and enhancing the connection between architecture and landscape. This considered application of brickwork not only defines the identity of Farney Park but also highlights how traditional materials, when thoughtfully employed, can enrich modern residential design.
