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.

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.
