The existing car park, visible from the Diamond in Donegal Town, was in need of upgrade to make the most of its riverside/ town centre location. It lacked a defined edge to the river, suitable lighting, and a proper walkway to the Pier and the Abbey ruins beyond. The materials for the new car park surface and the new footpath along the waters’ edge match into the existing, so that the joins between new and old are barely visible.

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. FermanaghThis 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. FermanaghFrom the very begining, I felt our proejct was in good hands. From our first contact over the phone, the meetings on site and also in the office. I have found Roci, Julie and Betty to be professional in their manner, interseted in our project and welcoming whenever I called or phoned. I wish all concerned with Allan Curran Architects continued success.
