The Virtual Reality Experience!
How can we help you visualise your space so that you can fully understand how it will feel before a shovel hits the ground?
This video shows you a sneak peek into what is experienced by my clients when they put on the Virtual Reality Headset - although it is far more immersive when you are wearing the headset!
The client is walked through the existing house and out to the two new extensions at the rear. This provides the client with a highly realistic experience of how the space will actually feel once constructed. This ensures the client will be happy with the final result. It also means less delays and costly changes when on site - which is what everyone wants!
Client Testimonials:
Office Fitout - Blackrock, Dublin
“Eaton Wood Architects Ltd and GC FitOut were among three companies invited to the RFP process in spring ’22. They were successful as they inspired us and especially Orla, as the lead architect, demonstrated a very good project methodology approach, attention to our Company Values incl. our strong Environmental, Social and Governmental approach.
Orla is a talented planner and very skilled at quickly grasping new material and situations and drawing appropriate conclusions. She is a very good listener and produces very good ideas and accompanying solutions. Even in times of stress, she handles her work effectively in a confident, reliable and calm manner, while respecting the interests and concerns for timely and cost-conscious deliveries.
We want to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for the valuable contributions she made to a timely opening 5th December ’22.”
Group Treasurer, Confidential Client:
House refurbishment & extension
“Working with Orla Wilson to renovate our artisan cottage — the very place of my own birth — was an experience marked by trust, creativity, and quiet brilliance. From the outset, Orla brought a gentle yet assured guidance that instilled confidence in every decision we made together. She helped us to reimagine the cottage in ways that honoured its rich past while future-proofing it for generations to come.
Orla's design sensibility is extraordinary.
She transformed a small, traditional space into a home that feels expansive, filled with natural light and a true sense of openness. Despite its modest footprint, the cottage now breathes with life and modernity, all while preserving its soul and character. The result is a timeless classic — not just a renovation, but a thoughtful reimagining that respects the past and embraces the future.
Her calm approach, combined with her deep expertise, made the entire process feel collaborative and enjoyable.
She listened, understood our vision, and brought it to life in ways we could never have imagined on our own. We are profoundly grateful for her skill, patience, and clarity.
If you are looking for an architect with vision, sensitivity, and an intuitive understanding of space, we wholeheartedly recommend Orla Wilson.

“It’s not often you find an architect who feels like a true business partner, but that’s exactly what I found in Orla while working with her on our EMEA Headquarters project in Dublin, IE. As our lead Architect, she was incredible - she is creative, resourceful and knowledgeable, allowing her to design one of our most beautiful and functional offices globally.
She is collaborative, an active listener and excels at communication which made it easy for us to work together - she understood quickly and accurately what we desired for our new Dublin HQ. She is professional, patient and kind, making our working relationship one of the most enjoyable I have experienced in my over 20 years as a real estate leader. If you are considering working with Orla, I can say with certainty, you will thoroughly enjoy your experience.”

About Orla Wilson - Founder and Creative Director
I founded Eaton Wood Architects as I truly believe that good design can improve your quality of life. As a registered Architect with the Royal Institute of Architects Ireland, I have over a decade of experience working on both residential and commercial projects.
I have worked both in Ireland and abroad working on house extensions, converting and upgrading listed buildings and designing small to large scale commercial fitouts.
Experience has taught me that no matter the scale or type of project, good design is a universal requirement for all environments. The offices and homes which I have worked on are always designed in a way that improves each user’s experience of that space.
Over the past 10 years of working in the construction industry I have developed a network of consultants and contractors who I collaborate with on a regular basis which enables me to work on both large and small scale projects.
