Built on the footprint of an existing derelict cottage, the site had the advantage of a mature landscape. The brief was for a traditional building which included up to date technology and incorporated four bedrooms, a living room and open plan kitchen/dining/family room. Raised gables, double thickness walls and sliding sash windows complemented the historical form of the building and high levels of insulation, solar panels for hot water and a heat pump for space heating fulfilled the technological requirements.

We 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.
Nick & Siobhan, Co. FermanaghWe bought a pretty standard bungalow in 2001. At the time we paid no attention to important factors such as natural light sources , the flow of rooms or there intended usage, we simply wanted a house to sleep in! Some years later we started our family and quickly discovered like so many , that our main living space was not compatible for our needs, insofar that the house seemed to suffocate us. We were faced with a major decision to sell and build, or renovate. Decision made and an architect secured, we began the journey. We choose to go with an amazing architect from Allan Curran Architects. Throughout the project, John worked closely with us to ensure our needs were discussed, challenged and built into the plans. Expectations were clear with regards to budgets, lead times and next steps. The process was stress free and I can’t recommend John and his team enough. We moved out of the house at the end of June 2016 and we moved home in September 2016. I call it home now, because I can honestly say that I love my home. It has captured me and provokes positive energies in my family. Our kitchen is flooded in natural light, our once modest garden is now a focal point for us. We have spent and will continue to spend early mornings and late evenings appreciating the tranquility it gives us, our extended families and friends.
Deirdre & Liam, Co. LeitrimThe company of Allan Curran Architects has to be one of the finest groups of talented architects in the area.
