I am a registered architect who has over a decade of experience in both Architectural and Interior Design. I have spent time working both in Ireland and abroad. I studied Architecture in University College Dublin, during which I took time out to work in the Middle East. After graduating from UCD with an Honours degree, I moved to London where I worked for several years on a variety of projects including high-end residential, commercial fit-outs, universities and conservation projects. I completed my post graduate studies in Professional Practice at the University of Westminster during this time.
For the past number of years I have worked in Ireland on both residential and commercial projects. My projects have been nominated for several Fit-Out Awards and I was nominated for "Fit Out Young Designer of the Year” in 2018. I am passionate about design and thrive on helping clients to achieve their aspirations!
How I think:
Design is at the forefront of my thoughts, from the bench you sit on when you enter your home to the sunlight pouring in the rooflight of your new extension. I believe that each step of our daily journeys should be in an environment that has been considered and designed to delight our senses.
In addition to beautiful design, functionality is of paramount importance to me. I am acutely aware of the practicalities of our client’s day to day lives and from the outset I establish a brief that takes account of every concern or challenge you may have. I strive to resolve each of these concerns through purposeful and meticulous design.
“I’ve worked with Orla on a number of projects ranging from small refurbishment to high profile new build commercial schemes and found her work ethic, drive and commitment to be exceptional. Her attention to detail throughout the design and construction stages shows a true asset of her personality and it was a joy to work with her.”
