Services

High-End Residential Design

I work with private clients on high-end residential projects, both renovation and new build. My approach is thorough, considered, and unhurried. I take on a small number of projects at any one time, which means the clients I work with receive my full attention from first conversation to final finish.

Every project begins with a genuine understanding of how you live and how you want to live. The rest follows from that.

Commissions are taken in Ireland and internationally.

Buyers Design Potential Review

Pre-Purchase Advisory for Premium Residential Properties

The best properties are not always the most straightforward. Period homes, complex layouts, and ambitious renovation projects can give even serious buyers pause — not because the property isn't right, but because the unknowns feel unmanageable.

The Buyers Design Potential Review brings my thirty years of senior design experience to that moment of hesitation. Before you commit, I will assess the property with you, reviewing spatial potential, renovation scope, architectural opportunity and, if required, my QS will give the realistic order of investment involved.

You leave with a clear-eyed, experienced assessment of what the property could become and what it would take to get there.

For buyers: A rapid, independent expert view before you make one of the most significant financial decisions of your life.

For estate agents: A senior design professional you can introduce to serious buyers hesitating on complex or period properties — helping keep high-value transactions moving with confidence.

Two service tiers available. Fees on request.

Consultancy for Architectural Practices & Design Firms

Some projects need more than a brief and a deadline. They need experience.

I work in an advisory capacity with architectural practices and design firms who want senior creative counsel at key stages of a project — whether that means design direction, material specification, client-facing creative leadership, or a frank peer review of work in progress.

The engagement is always shaped around what the project genuinely needs.

Seventeen years working internationally, an award-winning five-star hotel project, and a thirty-year career spent at the high end of residential and hospitality design means I understand both the creative and client dimensions of complex, valuable work.

If you are working on something where that experience might be useful, I would welcome a conversation.
