Private Dwelling, County Donegal
A spectacular site overlooking Donegal Bay created the need to maximise the views from as many spaces within the building as possible. The exposure of the site also required the creation of a private space, sheltered from the elements while the dramatic nature of the site called for a matching design statement. A tower which provides the vertical link between floors was set in the centre of the tranquil, sheltered space from which five “fingers” thrust out into the bay, each one benefiting from a different view. The building’s substantial footprint and the steep slope of the site required considerable excavation but the result has been to allow the building to settle back into the hillside where integration has been assisted by maintaining most of the original vegetation.

Testimonials
A very knowledgeable and professional service. Will make your project become a reality with a no fuss, can do ethos. Extremely helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.
Marshall Clarke, 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.
Ann, Co. SligoI 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.
