What makes us different?

If you are considering hiring an architect to design a new home or figure out a renovation we would like to help. Rather than being a sideline as it is in most architecture offices, the design of new houses and the renovation of older ones is my principal business as an Irish architect for over 10 years. I have worked extensively around the world, in the US, Australian, England and of course Ireland and have designed many successful homes, which are a credit to their owners and are most admired.


I can organize the process for you, starting with which piece of land to buy, where to put your house on a property, or which of several older houses can best be renovated to become your home. In designing your building I merge my design skills with knowledge that only you can have about what kind of a home will work for you. This results in a house that is a reflection of you, but will make sense in its environment and will retain its value. 

 

I can model the building in 3D and show you how it will really look with animated walk-throughs and renderings as well as the more traditional 2D drawings. When the design work is done I’ll help you find a contractor and figure out a construction contract and I’ll watch the building during construction to try and ensure that you get what you are expecting, and get it for what you are expecting to pay.


I get paid for my creativity, but also for absorbing the hassles, so you can enjoy the excitement of building a new home in a beautiful place. This design philosophy will also apply to small commercial projects.
