We do not rush projects, good ideas evolve
— they don’t just happen.
– Fergus Flanagan, Company Founder
THE SIMPLER THE MOTO, the more sophisticated the design- so why complicate things? Why not try something a little different- something that defines the box, rather than residing in it- and experience a whole new way of living? These are the possibilities at Fergus Flanagan Architects Ltd.- a firm that is driven by individuality and innovation. Dedicated to administering technical advancements, quality and best practice to each new project, the design team at Fergus Flanagan Architects Ltd. have the ability and the imagination to make a whole new world come true.

Now a Member of the Royal Institute of Architects Ireland, with over 14 years’ experience working in the Architectural field, not only Ireland but in Germany, Switzerland and the UK- Fergus attributes his success to his experiences and the vast variety between them all.
“We don’t want to get any bigger and lose touch — we want to do bigger designs and better stuff”
– Robert Cullen, Senior Associate
Understanding how to incorporate this into the firm’s portfolio and their prospective clients’ briefs, has led Fergus Flanagan Architects Ltd. towards success- where they have set a new design standard within Ireland. “I never know what a building will look like at the start of a project,” Company Founder, Fergus Flanagan revealed.
“I start with a blank sheet every time- this way you do not rule out innovation. Every client is different, every site is different, every project has different challenges and budgets- it is in this way that every building construction should be different. We do not rush projects, good ideas evolve — they don’t just happen. We don’t set a time limit on any of our projects unless our client has one. It is ready when our client is happy and we feel that we have achieved the high bench mark that we set ourselves.”

We’ve been focusing on keeping the doors open for the past few years. Now we are thinking about the future, our clients’ futures and the possibilities- something the economy hasn’t allowed since the recession.”
