Overview

Niven Oaks is a major residential development in Santry comprising 268 apartments designed to meet the Passive House standard. Working alongside Cairn Homes, Mosart is providing specialist Passive House consultancy to ensure the project achieves exceptional levels of comfort, energy efficiency and environmental performance.

Built to the most rigorous energy standards, each apartment is engineered to deliver ultra-low heating demand, outstanding indoor air quality and reduced operational costs for residents. This development forms part of Cairn’s wider commitment to sustainability, with Passive House design becoming a defining feature of its future-ready housing portfolio.

Other Cairn schemes incorporating the same high-performance approach include Pipers Square in Charlestown, Whitehaven in Santry and Cooper Square in Seven Mills. Together, these projects demonstrate how large-scale housing can combine climate responsibility with quality design, contributing to a more sustainable urban future for Dublin.
