The existing division within the site between the hard landscape to the west and the essentially soft landscape to the east is maintained. The car park fills the hard space and is planted with rows of beech hedges as are used throughout Kildare, and contained on the west boundary by a new wall covered with greenery. A new wall and canopy re-establishes the line of the existing facades, bringing people from their cars to the building, which is placed on the street frontage. The soft east side is made into a new public garden, with the fine existing trees giving it an immediate quality and the new wall sheltering it from the prevailing winds. The existing stone wall to the east and south of the site is maintained, giving the new space the quality of a walled garden and relating it to the demesnes of Kildare. The new garden is conceived as a garden of grasses, seeking to maintain the quality of the existing space by utilizing a combination of meadow grass, mown grass and beds of ornamental grasses. Paths are made with compacted gravel. An integrated planting plan would be put in place to ensure a steady cycle of trees at all stages of maturity.
