Paul O'Neill Architects is a young, dynamic, design-led architectural practice based in Kells, Co. Meath and London. With a diverse portfolio of works ranging from small one-off residential projects to large, complex medical facilities, the practice is fast gaining a reputation for its ability to deliver high quality design on time and in budget.
The practice was founded in 2008 and has a growing list of clients from both public and private sectors. We believe that intensive dialogue with clients, consultants and end users results in better quality, more efficient design and budget control.
Research is the key to everything we do, and we constantly strive to utilise and incorporate the very latest technology and materials on all of our projects, particularly when it leads to increased environmental performance and/or better design outcomes.
