Notion Gardens is situated within the historic ruins of Duiske Abbey in Graiguenamanagh. The design features architectural frameworks that separate the site's natural ecology from the historic landscape, creating a contrast between the ruins' heavy masonry and the new, open design. Its name reflects the aim to connect civic objectives with the site's physical characteristics. The architecture enhances the ruined walls and responds to the site's hydrological features. The layout balances communal areas with intimate retreats, offering both accessible family spaces and private suites.
