Our clients approached us seeking a complete renovation of two derelict cottages under one roof in Greencastle, Co. Donegal. A complete transformation of the plan which maintains the original character of the cottages was devised, with a contemporary extension added to the rear of the house.
The extension will house the main living spaces, while the original cottages will form the bedroom wing of the house. The existing central chimney provides the axis for the ridge of the extension’s roof, creating a visually striking off-centre pitched roof. In plan, the existing stone boundary wall is echoed in a glazed recess, providing threshold between inside and out.

John and Roci were an absolute delight to work with; nothing was ever too much trouble and they always persevered and achieved our wishes. We would not change a thing if we had to do it all again!
Daniel and Katrina, Co. DonegalWith regards to the project of renovating and building an extension to our family home, the advice and input from Mr. Allan was excellent regarding involvement with design options and also liaising with Building Control and the Contractor.
Malcolm, Co. FermanaghAllan Curran Architects designed and supervised all the work connected to the renovations of our 3 bathrooms in Mullaghmore, Co. Sligo. This was an extensive job involving completely redesigning and re-configuring the spaces. We live in the US and the work was done in our absence. We were given constant updates and kept very regularly abreast of the work. We couldn't recommend Allan Curran Architects more. They were a pleasure to deal with at every step. Extremely professional and attentive. The work did not go over budget. We are delighted with the finished work. The master bathroom is one of the nicest bathroom we have ever been in, it is like a bathroom in a boutique spa hotel. Excellent experience from first to last dealing.
