Hill House is one of few historic buildings in Rossnowlagh, Co. Donegal. It was built by James Jennings as a family home around the year 1814. In later years it was converted into the first guesthouse in the Rossnowlagh area. The building was constructed in two phases, extended c. 1860 and 1900, and was probably in use as a hotel or guest house. It was formed into four apartments in the early 1950’s to accommodate the growing number of summer visitors to the resort. It fell into disrepair at the turn of the century and was recently purchased by a couple who have experience of restoring historic buildings and are, “as a labour of love”, restoring the building back to its original state with a close eye on conservation principles.

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. FermanaghWe were very impressed by Roci’s calm, informative, thorough and professional approach to fulfilling our brief. We were particularly taken by his humour and support in times of adversity! This was supported by a very efficient administrative function. Communication was excellent, informative and timely. We would have no hesitation in recommending Allan Curran Architects Ltd to undertake new build work.
Stephen and Deene, Co. DonegalI 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.
