Promoting culture and the arts, creating a sense of place.

All pieces are site specific and evoke a strong sense of place, through the commissioning of local artists, execution in local materials and taking inspiration from local geographic, historical or cultural references. This is a clear expression of our values - a passion for placemaking and a deep respect for craft and culture. We are simultaneously promoting irish art and design while adding cultural value to our projects and enriching our customers lives.

Emma Jane Rushworth at Archers Wood

When planning Archers Wood, we saw a great opportunity to merge Irish art with nature as part of our ongoing Arts Programme by commissioning some sculptural pieces for the grounds of the development. We commissioned local Wicklow artist Emma Jane Rushworth, who has built up quite a name for herself thanks to her beautiful twisted wire garden sculptures. A finalist in Super Garden 2014 and a regular at Bloom, Emma Jane specialises in sculptures of animals – ideal for the wildlife idyll that is Delgany. 

The Donnybrook Gardens Collection

Adorning the walls of the Donnybrook Gardens lobbies and shared spaces are a huge collection of prints etchings and lithographs from a series of Irish artists including Pamela Leonard, Stephen Lawlor, Stephen Vaughan and Louise Leonard.

This collection was carefully curated to reflect the horticultural history and natural features of the site, with each one beautifully framed and lit giving a gallery-like feel to the buildings.
