Proud to Receive the RIAI Practice Code Mark

We’re proud to share that our practice has been awarded the new RIAI ‘Practice Code’ mark — a recognition that reflects our ongoing commitment to the highest standards of professional conduct and service.

The Practice Code is a mark of quality developed by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI). It is awarded to accredited architectural practices that not only meet a defined set of professional standards, but also actively choose to champion excellence in the way they work — both internally, in how they support their teams, and externally, in the services they deliver to clients and communities.

To be awarded the RIAI Practice Code Mark, architectural practices must declare and maintain compliance with the RIAI Code of Conduct for Architectural Practices and meet a detailed set of Accreditation Criteria. These cover areas such as professional integrity, competence, transparent communications, responsible practice management, and a consistently high standard of architectural service. It also recognises a practice’s contribution to the wider public good — a reminder that good architecture is not only about design, but about long-term value, sustainability, and ethical responsibility.

By choosing to adopt the Practice Code, we are making a clear statement to our clients, collaborators, and the public: we are committed to excellence, integrity, and accountability in everything we do.

We’re honoured to receive this recognition and look forward to continuing to uphold the principles it represents.

Summer Break 2025

We’re officially out of office for our annual summer break!

It is a chance to step away from screens, soak up some inspiration, and return refreshed.

Our office will be closed from July 12th to July 27th, and we’ll be back, pencils sharpened, on July 28th.

In the meantime, we wish you a restful, sun-drenched summer, and look forward to reconnecting soon!

Get Architectural Advice While Giving Back – Simon Open Door 2025

We are delighted to once again take part in the RIAI Simon Open Door initiative, marking our 16th year of participation in this important campaign. This initiative offers a fantastic opportunity for anyone considering a renovation, extension, or retrofit to receive expert architectural advice while making a meaningful contribution to tackling homelessness in Ireland.

The RIAI Simon Open Door initiative is a collaboration between the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) and the Simon Communities of Ireland. In return for a €125 donation, participants receive a one-hour consultation with an RIAI registered architect. Every cent raised goes directly to the Simon Communities, helping to provide essential services and support for those experiencing homelessness.

How It Works

By booking a consultation, you can receive valuable advice on your project—whether you’re looking to improve your home, increase energy efficiency, buying a site or explore design possibilities. At the same time, your donation will directly support the Simon Communities in their vital work assisting those in need.

Making a Difference Together

Over the past 20 years, RIAI Simon Open Door initiative has raised an incredible €1.5 million for the Simon Communities. We are honoured to have contributed to this initiative for 16 years, knowing that it helps both those seeking architectural advice and those in urgent need of housing and support.

Book Your Consultation

Appointments for Simon Open Door 2025 will be in high demand, so book early to secure your place. The initiative runs from 7–13 April 2025. Visit www.simonopendoor.ie to schedule your consultation and support this worthwhile cause.
