House Extensions in Dublin 18, Co. Dublin

“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 !”

“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.”

“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.”

“Provided design advice and build supervision for a house renovation Excellent ideas and helpful presence throughout. Helped with all areas of design including colour choices as well as structural aspects”

“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.”

“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”

“I can’t recommend these guys highly enough. From start to finish they were thoroughly professional, extremely polite and very patient. They treated our home like their own. We had one chimney removed from top to bottom and another chimney breast removed. We also removed another solid wall. It was an amazing transformation and made all the easier as the parts of the house that they didn't work on but passed through everyday were left spotless. They also gave us some great advise along the way. They have a very positive attitude, which for us was extremely important. Some of the builders that we talked to told us certain things couldn’t be done or wouldn’t be worth doing. Shane and Mark’s attitude was pretty much anything can be done. We will be using these guys for any future work that we may need done.”
