City of the arts
Dating back to the 7th century when St. Finbarr founded his monastic settlement, Cork is a city immersed in the arts. Throughout its long history, Cork has been a major regional cultural centre hosting festivals, street theatre, dance, musical and literary events. So, it comes as no surprise that Cork is an official European City of Culture.
European City of Culture.
Cork is a city full of youth and optimism, reborn through major programmes of renewal and regeneration. This medieval city is now a vibrant centre for industry, especially information technology.
With arts centres, theatres, cinemas, restaurants, pubs, sports grounds and golf courses, you can live and work in Cork and choose a lifestyle to suit your mood. From clubbing and eating out to nights at the theatre and visits to the latest exhibitions. And with all the major retail stores in the city centre and surprising smaller shops in Cork's alleyways and lanes, shopping doesn't get much better, and of course Mahon Point shopping centre right on your doorstep.

Blackrock is a stone's throw from the city centre, yet has a distinct village atmosphere. It's famous for its imposing neo-Gothic castle. Facing upriver to central Cork, overlooking the inner and outer harbour, the castle has undergone extensive refurbishment and will shortly house an astronomy centre. With the village centre to undergo a complete programme of refurbishment and renewal to include a new village park and recreational areas, Blackrock village makes the perfect backdrop to Eden.
An insight to Eden
This development is a model for contemporary living in the heart of the historic parkland setting of the former Ursuline Convent. It occupies a pivotal position overlooking the waterfront, linking the historic village of Blackrock and the city. The design approach sought to enhance the existing character of the site and to exploit the setting to establish a real 'sense of place' around a series of well crafted landscaped courtyards and pedestrian streets complementing the fine existing buildings, formal garden and mature landscape, including many specimen trees.
The careful design of the units allows for variety and diversity through a mix of houses, duplexes and apartments reflecting modern living trends, optimising comfort and quality through modern design and aims to set the standard for urban living in Cork.
The contemporary expression of the architecture sits comfortably beside the classical lines of the existing buildings. Large bay windows, generous terraces, sunrooms and balconies frame views of parkland and flood the interiors with natural light, the considered layouts allow for flexibility and interaction between living space, private gardens and secluded garden courtyards, while the mature setting is consolidated and enhanced by extensive new hard and soft landscaping.
To the south of the convent building, the landscaped gardens are surrounded by apartment units with large balconies and living spaces, taking full advantage of this beautiful and unique setting with its fountains and ornamental planting.
From the outset the desire was to create a sustainable neighbourhood, its identity driven by contemporary design, informed by modern life and enjoyed by its residents.
