The brief for the design of the first new hotel in Donegal for half a century was to provide the appearance of a mill, an industrial mill. The hotel complex has had many expansions and additions since the original hotel was opened more than 12 years ago but every new extension has borne that concept in mind regardless of size or scale. The exposed steel structure in the reception area, the detailed iron work and the structural roof timbers carry that same theme inside.

I was extremely pleased with the quality of work and service given by Allan Curran Architects Ltd., from the outset of the project to its completion. At all times the service was both personal and professional (all staff). if I were to undertake another such project I would seek the services of Allan Curran Architects without hesitation.
Jack and Elizabeth, Co. DonegalThis was our first self-build and we were impressed by the helpful advice we received from the initial planning through to completion of the build. Roci was careful to warn us of the financial implications of any decisions which helped to keep us within our budget. We wanted a modern innovative design which was economical to heat and maintain and we have been delighted with the result. The design also incorporated features which maximize the particular strengths of our unusual site. We also required the renovation of an old mill and the architectural advice received was also invaluable both in obtaining planning consent and enabling us to achieve our objectives whilst staying within our budget. Overall we have been delighted with the project and remain grateful for the quality of the advice and communication which we received from the architect which enable us to enjoy the experience from start to completion.
Jonathan and Barbara, Co. FermanaghWe have worked with Allan Curran Architects on two self-build projects over the past 4 years. We were extremely impressed with the professional and diligent manor they took towards us as Clients and the projects, from initial design stage through to completion. Their extensive experience and knowledge were invaluable in guiding us through the process. We very much appreciate the extensive time, vision and effort provided, and highly recommend their professional and creative team.
