Architecture can be a challenging pursuit – carefully treading a line between expectation, regulation, budget and style. There is an immense satisfaction in meeting the challenges of a project, in guiding clients through the process and seeing the outcome transform their lives, homes or businesses for the better. When those clients take the time to […]

From October 2015, Architexture will no longer be accepting new commissions. I have made the decision to leave self-employment behind me (for now) and take up a role with my former employers to work on a prestigious project. It was not an easy decision to make, as I have poured sweat and tears into Architexture over the […]

We are excited to have recently completed work on the change-of-use and fit-out of a Protected Structure in Dublin’s Smithfield for the good people of < Fish Shop >< . The shop is open since mid-April bringing their signature food to D7. Pictured outside the completed premises are owners Jumoke and Peter.       […]

I recently participated in and very much enjoyed my first Simon Open Door event. I had consultations with a number of people embarking on projects from Protected Structure refurbishment to energy-efficient retrofit and new-builds. Across this variety of project and building types – a recurring theme in all consultations was a desire to understand how […]

Once realised, the best design solutions often seem obvious or inevitable and that is the case with this particular project. It is always heartening to see public space, and the public realm in general, being upgraded. It’s rare when this happens and is not a token payback gesture by a commercial developer.

Welcome to my new blog. Here goes… Our world is getting thinner, faster, cheaper and more disposable. All at a cost we cannot, and could never, afford. Rather ambitiously for my first blog post, I am going to propose a potential solution to that problem. We live on a planet of finite resources that is […]
