Hi I'm Madeleine. I am based in Dublin 6, a member of the Royal Institute of Architects in Ireland and accredited in Conservation at Grade 3.
I studied architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College, London, and worked for prominent, award-winning architects, including Foster and Partners in London, and Shaffrey Associates in Dublin, on residential, museum, office, conservation and master planning projects and as a project architect on house extension and refurbishment projects. My conservation experience includes protected structure house refurbishments and extensions, the award-winning conservation of Lulworth Castle in Dorset, funded by English Heritage, and a 16th century timber-framed house in Epsom, Surrey. I live and work in Dublin since 2000.
I design in response to your requirements and priorities and also seek to enhance the experience of the building and its setting, and maximize the special qualities offered by your particular project. This might be space, light, views, materials, a connection between inside and outside, or another aspect unique to your location, building or site.
My advice and experience will add value to what you can achieve with your project. It will add physical and emotional value, as the way we design our spaces has a monumental impact on the quality of our daily lives. It may add financial value to your investment, and it will ensure your money is carefully allocated.
I have many years experience of successfully managing building projects, including the procurement of experienced contractors and managing the programming, costs and quality of construction contracts from inception through to completion.
I design and build to the best standards in materials, detailing, low energy performance and sustainability and take account of your budget to deliver the project.
