“I Love Architecture” Returns With Free Valentine’s Vouchers

It is the 3rd year we are running the “I Love Architecture” campaign and once again we are pleased to spread the love with free Valentine’s vouchers.

The campaign plans to make the general public aware of the importance of good Architecture. We aim to promote Architecture as a priority to improve the quality of the built environment.

 

 

 

 

 

Good Architecture and design can be large or small, simple or complex, traditional or contemporary. Every aspect of our lives is influenced by the built environment – through the houses we live in, the schools we learn in, the offices or factories we work in, the public buildings we enter, and even the streets in which we move about.

As part of this campaign Isabel Barros Architects is offering 5 Valentine’s Gift Vouchers for a free consultation worth €100 with a registered RIAI Architect.

This is a great opportunity for people to discuss their plans with an Architect and get free advice. Whether it’s a small house extension, a shop restyling or a major scale development, architects can bring their creativity and technical experience to help you achieve a design that contributes to your sense of well being and respects the built environment.

In one hour we can cover design ideas for an extension, renovation or a new building, optimize your shop layout or window display, explain the planning and construction stages or provide general planning advice.

You can obtain your free Valentine’s Gift Voucher for a consultation worth €100 by contacting Isabel Barros Architects office at 053 91 78957 or by sending an email to office@isabelbarrosarchitects.ie. Hurry up, last year the vouchers were gone in less than a week!

The offer is limited to the first 5 eligible registered respondents who respond before the end of February 2013 with name, address, email, contact no. and project details. Terms and Conditions apply.

Renovating Europe is needed NOW

We start this new year of 2013 by showing our support for the ‘Renovate Europe’ campaign.

The ‘Renovate Europe’ Campaign was initiated by EuroACE (The European Alliance of Companies for Energy Efficency in Buildings). It is calling for an ambitious roadmap to be drawn up on how to triple the annual renovation rate of the EU building stock from the current rate of 1% to 3% by 2020 and to ensure that the aggregate result of those renovations leads to an 80% reduction of the energy demand of the building stock by 2050 as compared to 2005.

We can continue to burn money on ever more expensive imported fossil fuels. Or we can invest in measures that will help create up to 2 million European jobs, reduce our environmental footprint and prevent more Europeans falling into fuel poverty.

The choice is yours. Support a 3% renovation rate of Europe’s buildings.
