We aim to create comfortable, healthy, future-proofed buildings to satisfy our Client’s requirements, designed to suit each site’s aspect, orientation & location.

One of our primary design considerations when siting and designing a house, is to maximise on passive solar gain heating by orientating the house + living spaces to the south, aligning with our low energy design objective.

Our overall design style is inspired by modern buildings, which adopt traditional building forms + proportions, side by side with contemporary design, details + building construction techniques.

You’ll be the first we will call!!

From Client email   |   31 Jan 2022   |  :

We have decided that due to the small nature of this project we are going to manage this ourselves. If this project can be completed without Planning Permission, then we will keep this to a small scale.

We have found the advice and information you have provided invaluable and we will use this to guide us. Again thank you very much for your help and advice.

And if our numbers come up in the lotto and we’re not scrimping and saving,  you’ll be the first we will call!!

We would definitely work with Eoin again and we are thrilled with our finished house.

From Client email   |   24 Nov 2020   |  :

We started working with Eoin O Keeffe Architects in July 2017.

From the initial meeting we found Eoin to be very professional and forthcoming with ideas. He listened to what our needs and wants were and came back with different design options. He continued to tweak these designs with us until we got the best out of our indoor space and outdoor surroundings.

Eoin managed our tender process and also acted as project manager for the entire build which was great.

We always found Eoin professional, helpful and great to work with. When issues occurred he helped us find the best solution without compromising the integrity of the build or finishes. We would definitely work with Eoin again and we are thrilled with our finished house. Thanks Eoin for all the work over the last 3yrs!

I love the end result… You really did save us an enormous amount of effort and money by scaling back on our original plans.

From Client email   |   10 Jan 2020   |  :

To date we have installed the bigger windows in the kitchen at front and the back and they are fabulous, made a massive difference and we are thrilled with the light they add and how much of the view and garden we can see.

I got …. …. to spray the kitchen and I love the end result, so thank you so much that recommendation. I am really happy now with the kitchen and any idea of moving the room has now well and truly been put to rest.

I want to thank you for all the fantastic advice and help.

You really did save us an enormous amount of effort and money by scaling back on our original plans, my husband was thrilled and I wouldn’t have found …. if it weren’t for your recommendation either, he was also incredibly reasonable and did a fantastic job so thanks again for all your help.

One of the best decisions we have ever made.

From Client email   |   03 Oct 2017   |  :

In 2014, we decided to leave city living and come back to to the countryside and renovate an old family home. A 1960’s bungalow, we wanted to retain the memory of the house and the family members that had lived there before but needed to change it to fit the busy life of a family of 6.

This could not have been possible without Eoin’s assistance, from the very beginning he helped shape our thoughts. Beginning with our desire to marry the old and new and to mirror the nearby abbey and our hope to take advantage of the country surroundings and let light into our everyday lives, he brought our thoughts firstly to paper and then to bricks and mortar.

Because we could not leave our home in Limerick, he became our site manager and quality controller. His attention to detail and thorough drawings helped immensely and Eoin, in conjunction with our builders Higgins & McCarthy, has provided us with a home in which we love raising our family.

I could not recommend Eoin highly enough, he is meticulous in his planning and drawing and follows through on everything he says. It was a big decision by us to leave the building of our family home into someone else’s hands, but one of the best decisions we have ever made.

Seán & Niamh Twomey, Conna, Co. Cork.

We are thrilled with the results. We have totally remodelled our downstairs without having to change the footprint of the original house.

From Client email   |   01 July 2016   |  :

We recently completed works on our house to revamp the ground floor.

We decided to work with Eoin O Keeffe Architects as we were pleased with proposed drawings and Eoin’s skills.

We retained Eoin O Keeffe Architects to oversee entire project as we had little knowledge of construction etc..

We are thrilled with the results. We have totally remodelled our downstairs without having to change the footprint of the original house. Eoin was available at absolutely every stage of works and indeed led communication throughout the project which we were thrilled with.

His attention to detail combined with his extensive background means we have a finished product that is a modern design and finished to a very high standard.
