‘New Order’, two new terraced mews houses by A2 Architects, mark the beginnings of a new street on an existing lane in the dense inner-city area of Stoneybatter, Dublin. In all ten identical terraced mews houses have so far been granted permission on the lane. A ‘double return’ mews typology is developed by employing a return to both the front and rear of the new mews houses. A repeating bracketālike party wall of light polychromatic stock brick establishes the recurring structure and enclosure for the new houses.
