Irish firm may have solution to the housing crisisAn architectural firm in Ireland has announced a new housing design, which it claims could help relieve the housing crisis. The design is centred around a three-storey medium-density design that will deliver four times more housing than estates with semi-detached housing, which are common across Ireland. Claire McManus of JFOC Architects said, “Solving the housing crisis is not just about delivering units, it is about creating communities. Great public spaces are just as important as high-quality houses. “With the compact green city, people have a network of safe green spaces to use, as well as people to support existing and new facilities.”
