WHO ARE WE
We are two architects who have set up a partnership in 2011. We are interested in good design, and for us that means working with the needs of the client, the community, and the planet. We believe in collaborating closely with our clients at all stages, and in producing energy efficient building and built spaces that are enjoyable by as wide a body of people as possible. Through our blog we hope to show you how we look at design and the principles we stand for. Between us we have almost 20 years of experience in architecture firms in Ireland, New Zealand and Hong Kong, and hope to make the best use of that in our new base in Kilkenny.
MCOS Architects is a registered practice with the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI). We are both also individually registered architects with the RIAI.
