Dublin 18, Co. Dublin House Extensions Professionals

“We got Joe to design sunroom / family area for our 3 bed semi in Dublin. We were delighted with the finished product. He spent the time at design stage giving us plenty of options not just one. We found him very friendly and explained the whole process in a simplified way as we were nervous of the whole process. I would rate him full 5 except for the 3 week wait we had to get him to call out........busy guy but delighted we got him.”

“After having met with many builders we decided to go with Stone Builders. The entire team were at all times professional and efficient. They listened to exactly what we wanted and carried out all work with great care. They were interested in not just getting the job done but getting the job done in the best possible way showing great attention to detail. Always advising us as the job progressed and showing us alternatives that would work and look better. All the team arrived promptly every morning and worked full days in order to get the job completed in a time frame. I have already recommended them to family and friends.”

“Michelle designed a complete downstairs renovation and extension of our home. This project required planning permission. We found Michelle to be a thorough professional with great ideas and a practical outlook. She took on board what we wanted from our living space and delivered a design that is both functional and beautiful. We're very happy to recommend Michelle's services.”

“In 2012 the living space in our home was dark and cluttered. The conservatory, a misnomer, was unusable , poorly designed, subject to extremes of heat and cold and the odd leakage. I had a budget and had to stick to it. I retained Robert Bourke as architect. From the off he had refreshing ideas . He prepared plans and tendered for builders , with time we got a reliable builder at the right price . This is not a fairy tale ! Roberts designs worked with the house and the budget. The removal of a useless door; the realignment of the living area; turning the conservatory into a room where we could dine at Christmas; opening up the kitchen all great but the real JEWEL was in bringing light into the living area . This was achieved by putting in two interior windows . At first I was sceptical but the effect was amazing. We have light and space all year round . Nearly three years on , showing signs of living, it has retained its magic !”

“Eva provides a unique and really useful service. In 2 hours she gave me scaled drawings of 4 options to change the layout of the kitchen/living/dining space. As an architect she understands light and space plus the practical implications of changes.I am really excited now about taking it forward with Eva.”

“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 feel privileged to have met Garry Cohn. His work on Cliff House Hotel and Design Doctors is uplifting and inspiring as well as beautiful. He is a total professional and generous with his time I could imagine that he would be very easy to work with. He has given me great ideas and explained to me how he designs all his homes from the inside to the outside. This makes for a well lived-in home, not just a pretty box.”

“We are working on a very interesting project with Adrian Hill Architects at the moment. Adrian and his colleagues could not be more reasonable, clear in communication and helpful when asked. Otherwise happy to not micro-manage the contractor and staff on site. It is not a daily occurence that a building contractor feels this way about an architect. I have had a look at some other of their project which are display of true skill, creative energy and abundant knowledge of architecture and construction. If you are a home owner looking for an architect, I can't imagine there being too many architects to rival this team in areas that really matter for a successful project.”

“McCann Moore helped us to realise our dream of extending and modernising our family home throughout. They assisted us in engaging and managing professional contractors to deliver the project on our behalf, providing a turnkey service for the required budget. Pauls attention to detail is excellent, he listened to our ideas and provided his own, without which the final result would have been greatly diminished. A thoroughly excellent architectural and project management practice for all sizes of projects”

“I couldn't recommend De Siun architects highly enough. Micheals' attention to detail is phenomenal and he designed a high quality, light filled extension for us that exceeded our expectations. A pleasure to deal with at all times, with creative solutions at every obstacle. Thank you. Frieda Furlong”
