Sustainable Design in Dublin 4, Co. Dublin

“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 have worked with Angela on several projects as a supplier of custom cabinets. The projects have always been well designed and thoroughly documented with clear and concise instructions. I feel this demonstrates her confidence in understanding her client's brief and her professionalism in managing the design, construction & installation phases to achieve high quality results. Angela is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her as an experienced and professional Interior Designer.”

“Fantastic customer service and attention to detail. The team at Habu designed a home that I've always dreamed of! Highly recommended.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“I asked Gwen to come and design my kitchen for me. Straight away I was was very impressed with her knowledge and advice. She created more space then I thought possible. She turned my kitchen into a "dream kitchen"! I would recommend Gwen and her team for any job. Thanks Gwen.”

“I had ideas about what Shomera might produce, but was still surprised when I first saw the design and fell in love with it immediately. Given that our garden is North-facing, their consideration of the orientation and how best to capture light was fantastic. The count down is on for the start date in May. Can't wait.”
