Village Masterplan Fenit
2020, Kerry, Ireland
The project brief included historic research, desktop analysis and community consultation to design a masterplan for the village core that would facilitate change and resolution of conflict between the port activities and leisure for visitors and local residents.
The support of a thriving harbour and marina together with the ongoing development of the Tralee Fenit Greenway each has the potential to bring economic and social benefits to the village and its hinterland.

+The proposal includes the creation of new visitor amenities serving the Greenway trailhead and beachfront. Amenities will include changing rooms, toilets and bicycle storage and a lifeguard station. A revived public realm allows space for festivals and events and interpretation and information point. Further back the village core is reconfigured to improve transport routes to the port. A new village green overlooked by a new terrace of houses and a hostel will provide renewed focus to this popular visitor destination.
