Set within the County Antrim landscape, this home takes inspiration from the character of a traditional farm cluster, reinterpreting it through a clean, contemporary approach.

The house is formed around three connected volumes, carefully positioned to create a sense of movement between spaces while maintaining a clear distinction between shared and more private areas.

At its heart, the south-facing courtyard becomes a key part of the design. Bringing natural light deep into the home, it provides a sheltered outdoor space and strengthens the connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape.

Designing Remotely, Wherever You Are 🏠

This contemporary renovation and extension project in Dublin is currently on the drawing board, with a focus on maximising natural daylight and creating a strong connection between the internal spaces and the large private garden.

Great design doesn’t have to mean being based around the corner from your architect. We are based in Kilrea, Northern Ireland but we work with clients throughout Ireland, offering a seamless remote design service from initial concept through to completion.

We provide fully bespoke architectural designs tailored to your home, your site and the way you want to live — while giving you the flexibility to work with trusted local professionals for planning, engineering and construction on site.

Planning a new home, extension or renovation in Dublin? We’d love to hear from you.

Designed around the view. Built around the lifestyle.

Set along the North Coast, The Berrins is a pair of semi-detached homes designed to make the most of an exceptional coastal setting.

Across three levels, the mirrored residences are carefully arranged to capture uninterrupted views with extensive glazing bringing the landscape into the heart of each home.

The design also places a strong emphasis on accessibility, with private elevators providing seamless access to every level. At the rear, sheltered garden terraces create the perfect setting to enjoy the coastal surroundings — particularly on those long summer evenings.

From the first conversation to the day construction is complete, we can:
✨ Understand your vision and the way you want to live.
✏️ Develop a bespoke design tailored to your site, budget and aspirations.
📐 Prepare detailed drawings and technical information for construction.
📋 Manage planning applications and Building Control approvals.
👷 Collaborate with contractors to help ensure the design is delivered as intended.

Whether you're planning a new home, extending your existing property or renovating a period building, our role is to make the process clearer, more efficient and less stressful.

If you're thinking about your next project, we'd be delighted to help.

Although our studio is based in Northern Ireland, we've had the privilege of working with clients throughout Ireland, designing homes that respond to the unique landscape, character and lifestyle of each location.

This concept design for a proposed new dwelling on a gap site in a village setting in County Galway takes its cues from the eclectic mix of neighbouring homes, offering a contemporary interpretation that sits comfortably within its surroundings.

A simple, carefully considered palette of materials creates a clean, timeless aesthetic, while generous rear glazing maximises natural daylight and solar gain, framing beautiful views towards the river.

If you're planning a new home, an extension or a renovation anywhere in Ireland, we'd be delighted to help bring your vision to life. Get in touch with our team to discuss your project.

This proposed bespoke dwelling for a sloping rural site in Mid Ulster has been carefully designed to work with the natural contours of the land, creating a home that feels grounded within its setting rather than imposed upon it.

A refined palette of dark materials allows the building to recede into the surrounding landscape, while feature Corten steel cladding introduces warmth and character, drawing inspiration from the surrounding agricultural buildings.
