ABOUT
Steve Larkin Architects is an architectural practice based in Dublin Ireland. We are focused on designing and making carefully crafted buildings that are sensitive to their physical and cultural context. We have a wide range of project types ranging from domestic to commercial and public works.
We emphasize the importance of object, detail and space to produce carefully honed architecture. We take a careful, practical and economic approach to materials and construction. Sustainability is considered from first principles at all stages of the design process. We collaborate closely with clients, professional consultants and expert tradespeople to ensure that project ambitions are met.
