Design Clinic for Existing Houses
As an architect and a busy mother with a passion for interiors, I fully understand all aspects of a home that can impact a property’s potential.
Many houses in Ireland do not work well. They were designed to “get planning” or to be built quickly or cheaply, without much consideration to light, style or function. But things have changed, now most people realise the benefit of good design. Good design is no longer out of reach for homeowners. I believe every home potential, by unlocking yours you can change the way you live, your enjoyment of your home and increase the value of your home.
New Build and Extensions
We can help you through the process of adding a new extension to your existing house from the design stage to completion as well as guidance for Planning Permission, Building Regulations, and Building Energy Rating. Often changing what you have is simpler than building a new extension. We can also help you renovate your existing house to bring in more light, views, and increase functionality.
Conservation and Restoration
With our Grade 3 Conservation Architect, we have an excellent understanding of the legislation, philosophy, and technical requirements to work on buildings of local or regional importance. The most protected structures that we have worked on are farm buildings, farmhouses, and townhouses that are of regional importance.
