This site provided a unique challenge. A full storey height change in levels, not only from front to back but from end to end of a site that lay only a few metres from the sea. The temptation to provide the ubiquitous stone cottages or their modern equivalent was strong as there in lay a safe option. However, the footprints for individual houses and therefore the accommodation would be small. The terraced and turned design made maximum use of the views, provided economy of both construction and running costs, produced maximum floor space while closely following the site contours.

This 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. FermanaghThe overall Rann Mór Development has been remarkably successful in the last few years. This is in no small way due to the high quality of the design and the professional service provided by Allan Curran Architects Ltd and I look forward to completing the next phase of the development at Rann Mor Meadow to the same high standard.
Daniel Doherty, Managing Director of George Doherty Construction (Irl) LtdI could not believe when I contacted Allan Curran Architects that someone could be out so soon to quote my project. The quote was under budget and could be completed in half the time of the other quotations. Not alone would I recommend Allan Curran Architects, I have.
