I’m a second generation architect based in Ranelagh, Dublin. I love design and I love what design can do. Great design brings clarity. It takes the complexity of the world and makes it simple. As a designer, you are so aware of all the constraints that need to be overcome, and great design always answers those questions with a beautifully considered solution.
Ultimately though, great design is about people, and my relationship with my clients is at the heart of my practice. They are the starting point of every project, and I put trust and honesty at the heart of that relationship. I see every project as an opportunity to create something exceptional, and always aim to exceed my client’s needs.
I’m a surfer and a father of three.
