After 40 years of running an architectural practice with up to 8 staff, Daniel the principal architect has semi-retired and likes to offer his design skills in a one to one basis to clients who prefer good design over a quick fix, taking on only a few jobs per year. You will receive a 3D model of the proposal where you can walk through on your own computer and on approval the relevant 2D drawings will be prepared ready for planning application. We offer full services in Munster. We can also offer "design only" services at greatly reduced fees anywhere in Ireland and beyond. This does not exclude offering full services outside Munster which still can be provided at an agreed fee or by avoiding travel expenses, in conjunction with a local engineer instructed and managed by us.
Kerry based dod-architects has been in Business for over 40 years gaining lots of experience in high quality Residential, Commercial, Interior and Landscape Design in the Cork and Kerry area. We specialise in Traditional Design Styles with a high ergonomic input, maximising insulation, day-lighting and site orientation for best living conditions and thermal performance. Traditional but with all the contemporary comforts one may wish. Interior space treatments can be modern or traditional. There are plenty of architects offering glass boxes to live in, we don't as we feel that they will age quickly, but not our designs, they are timeless.
Our role as architects is in the first place to advise you ! The next step we hope that you will instruct us ... but not the other way around. For local jobs on the Beara peninsula and around Kenmare we still offer full services. From only 150 Euros (see column below right) we will come out to advise you, whether it relates to problem solving, improvements, renovations, extensions or site assessments and new designs. We will be delighted to assist where ever we can!
During the design phase we present you the proposal(s) as a 3D virtual model that can be viewed on your own computer or tablet at home. You can virtually walk through all spaces and explore the exterior. You can even "fly" over the model.
Whether in traditional or contemporary architectural style, we aim to blend our designs into the local environment complimented with, if the budget allows, bespoke landscape designs to give your building a sense of belonging and making you feel at home in your own environment. Architecture does not start nor end at your front door, the site should be an integral part of the design creating external space as an extension of the interior environment.
Since the office in Kenmare closed we have acquired a state of the art Office/camper in which we can meet clients in Kenmare. Or any other location, see bottom of site bar. We also use this facility during survey work or other work on site that can't be completed in one day.
You are most important to us and we use our architectural design skills to maximise the end result within the budget that you have set yourself and to make your dream come true.
