Custom Build Home in Cork, Co. Cork

“KMC recently finished a project of mine and i would highly recommend them as a competent builder with the skills and expertise required nowadays for modern sustainable building. The quality of finish has shun through at the end of the project and all of the KMC subcontractors and site foremen are of a very high standard.”

“After 5 years of struggling to obtain planning permission on a prominent coastal site and wanting to build a certified Passivhaus we contacted John Morehead of WMA Architects. John produced a very contemporary, exciting design based on our brief and tailored to the site with available spectacular views, which passed planning first time round. Many did not believe it possible to build his design to passive standard as it was far from a regular “box” but the attention to detail at WMA and their continuous monitoring of the build achieved the desired result. We can highly recommend John and the WMA team for their flair, insight, knowledge of passive design and products and dedication to ensuring everything ran smoothly and was built to plan. We are now living in a fantastic, soon to be, Passive Certified / BER A1 rated house that is just so comfortable and special ! – Thank you to all at WMA (our new best friends). Nick & Annie”

“I hired Loïc Dehaye architects to redevelop my house in Cobh and I have never regretted that the decision. Loïc, along with Tim Hawker, have used their expertise to take my brief, the existing building, location & budget, to turn it into the perfect home for me. From the initial meeting to date, they have made the whole process as easy as can be. The building had no internal stairs connecting both floors so I needed Loïc to add 1. From there I wanted open plan living and to take advantage of the harbour views. They exceeded my expectations and more. Loic is on site often to keep an eye on progress, budgets and to make sure construction is as designed or improved. There are minimum standards and then there are Loïc's standards, which are above and beyond current regulations. I have no hesitancy in recommending Loïc Dehaye Architects.”

“It has been my pleasure and privilege to work with a professional architect of Louise Sliney's calibre. Her enthusiasm, hard work and sheer commitment inspire absolute confidence. She dissipates stress and worry by always keeping the client at the heart of the project. Louise has endless patience and genuinely allows the design to develop and evolve until it satisfies the client. She is passionate about her work and always available. I would highly recommend Louise Sliney Architects to anyone who is about to navigate the minefield of Planning and Building. You really will be in safe hands!”

“From: Ruth and Martin Wolfe EdelRegan has a wonderful ability for encapsulating exactly what her clients want and crystallising their wishes into an amazingly creative construct. She listened patiently to our needs and picked up on features we were interested in developing and adding her own wonderfully creative input, she designed for us, a beautifully proportioned, light filled home, with many stunning features. She is client-centred, easy to work with, accessible, with a helpful eye on budgetary considerations. She is ably assisted by her architectural technician, Anna, who also takes the client through the detailed specifications of Edel’s plans. We are delighted we engaged Edel, as our architect and have no hesitation in recommending her to clients.”

“We hired Niall in 2014 to design and oversea the building of a new modern extension and renovation of existing dwelling house. He's a fantastic architect and always had our best interests at heart. The end result is a home that we love. The old and the new parts of the house work so well together. We highly recommend Neil for your next project.”

“TMG Architects provided us a complete package for the design and planning stages for our house. Tony was there on time for meetings and called out to the site a number of times to help us design and answer any questions. They offer a great service and was able to recommend/source engineers to aid with both the planning and the build. I would highly recommend TMG Architects going forward.”

“Brian has assisted my partner and I since we first started looking for a semi-detached property in North London to purchase, and potentially extend, last year. Brian provided invaluable initial advice on planning and building codes and practical/technical issues relating to the design of the extension, and concerning the treatment of the existing building. We are currently working with him to develop schematic designs for the project. He is very personable to work with and listens attentively to client's needs. We would have no hesitation in recommending FASCIA to other clients.”
