Who We Are

About Us

 

We are a highly-skilled team that bring a unique combination of creativity, expertise and experience to every project that we undertake. From small one-off commissions to major public works in architecture, conservation, interiors and urban design. Committed to the highest standards in design quality and professional service, óró | architects strives in excellence as an architecture practice with an extensive portfolio of buildings and projects for a client list that comprises government, local authorities, companies, voluntary bodies and private individuals.

 

Our creative approach to a project coupled with our ability for problem solving and lateral thinking enables us to explore many more options than may at first be apparent. Whether it be gaining additional floorspace from the same footprint, improving the chances of securing planning approval through thoughtful, sensitive design or creating inspirational spaces to live and work in, we always strive to add value to your project.

 

Our knowledge and experience will add value to your project.

01. Research & Brief

 

This is the most important stage as it determines the rest of the project. You will discuss your goals, ideas, aspirations and budget with us and we will help you assess your options and if necessary carry out a feasibility study.

 02. Design

 

We carefully analyse your brief and site context and begin the thought process to realise your aspirations. This is where the ‘magic’ happens and our unique skills are put to work to visualise a solution and prepare multiple sketches to test our concept designs.

03. Develop

 

When the concept design and feasability are complete, we start the development stage. We are actively involved in the construction and extensive experience liaising with contractors & consultants to assure the project stays on time, in budget and to the high quality our clients expect.
