Design inspired by the history of one of the largest residential areas in Dublin, Darndale, which means Daffodil in Irish (Darndál). When Darndale was built, many large families established themselves in this neighborhood looking for a better place to live with bigger spaces and pretty gardens where their kids could play. It was divided into five areas named after other flowers that grow there such as Buttercup, Marigold, Primrose, Snowdrop and Tulip. Now Darndale is a place where many people have shared their stories side by side through generations.
