House Extensions in Dublin 18, Co. Dublin

“We live in a Georgian house and are renovating our kitchen, bathroom and want to find space for a laundry room. We had lots of ideas but were having difficulty pulling everything together. Eva helped us focus, challenged our ideas, suggested simple solutions and gave us a very creative design which turned out to be affordable and easy to implement. Her approach is very professional, honest and directive. The consultation with Eva was very productive and cost effective. We are very happy to recommend her services.”

“Tasked with the complete renovation of a large seaside 1960s holiday property, and with no prior experience of property renovation I found myself in need of expert advice. The house suffered from a litany of problems dating back to the original build, which needed immmediate remedy, and also required an internal reconfiguration to make it more suitable for modern living. I hired DMVF Architects to oversee the project from design and planning permission through to the completion of the building works. I worked closely with Colm Doyle of DMVF for 6 months on the project, and found his advice on every element - from structural considerations to interior design decisions - invaluable. The project was completed on time, and on budget, and far exceeded the expectations of my family for whom I oversaw the project. The core issues such as chronic damp have been cured, and the house enjoys a new lease of life as the perfect holiday home. I have no hesitation in recommending DMVF Architects, and Colm Doyle in particular.”

“I could not recommend Michael enough! He designed the perfect house for us. From the very first phone call we knew we couldn’t have got anyone better. Very knowledgeable at what he does, great advice for us as we’re just starting out. No delay on anything planning process was very smooth without any bumps along the way. Thank you Michael and Niall for all your hard work.Ronan&Joanne”

“We worked with Josh to design and project manage an extension to our 1930s house in Dublin 7. It included demolishing our old kitchen and lean-to sheds, and building a new kitchen/dining room with a downstairs bathroom / utility room. Beforehand we visited several clients in the local area who had positive experiences with House Architects. The pricing structure was very clear. Josh was a pleasure to work with, and unflappable, which is always very reassuring. Once we had designs we were happy with, he worked to put the project out to tender and managed the relationship and the payments to the builder. This was the most valuable aspect for us. Particularly towards the end of the project, there were probably issues where we would have let the builder cut corners, but it was great to have Josh there to hold the line and ensure the project was completed to specification. We've been living with our extension for 18 months now and we're delighted with it - it's transformed the way we use the house and the garden.”

“We have just finished new project with Joe Fallon, our brief was simple but with Joes vision and expertise it really helped bring all of our aspirations to life. With house extension projects you don’t do them very often so Joe and his team really helped us with every stage of the process from fully understanding the design to helping with costs and selecting the right materials. We are really thrilled.”

“We knocked on a local residents door to ask who had designed their house and we found our architect! We loved Pauls work even before we met him! Right from the start, Paul was very easy to work with. We had found a site but he encouraged us to view a different one and it was the best decision ever. ( shame about the builder , lol!! ) We had a very simple brief.We wanted a modern build with lots of light, and with a tight budget, Paul designed us our dream home, on a small site.He got us right from the start! He even built us a model of the house. We very quickly trusted Paul and when he suggested we make some modifications , we knew it was for the right reasons.He was quick to pull us back from costly requests. House building can be very stressful but Paul was able to contain a lot of that stress. We would certainly recommend McCann Moore - a pleasure to work with, very relaxed and brilliant designers!”

“We have removed all the sunroom glass roof, and has built properly flat roof. So the sunroom won’t be too hot in summer, and too cold in winter. Very good quality work with beautiful finished, and reasonable price, started job in 2 weeks time, so I didn’t wait for long. Highly recommend Adrian’s team! Adrian always very fast response communication when you contact him. Very good service! I’m enjoying my new part of the house now. Thank you so much for all the members of the team! You have done great work!”

“If we hadn't taken a friend's advice and hired this company to prepare a re-modelling design layout, we would have missed out on a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform our out of date, 'tired' house into the home of our dreams. We probably didn't spend that much more on the construction work than originally planned but, critically, the money we did spend delivered the best possible results. We couldn't have been happier!”

“Optimise Design combines wonderful, innovative and beautiful design, with top notch service. At every stage I was advised on how to optimise my budget and make the best use of my space. I got more than I hoped for - and I love my house now. It's my favourite place to be.”

“I’ve worked with Adrian and his team on numerous property developments from single detached houses, schemes of multiple houses and also conversion projects – such as converting an old bank building into luxury apartments. Along the way we've been shortlisted for and commended with several architectural awards. Adrian and his team bring a wealth of experience and professionalism to each project. Such is my regard for Adrians’ vision and work rate, he was the architect I chose to redesign both my brothers and sisters houses when they asked for my assistance.”
