Our Process  

At Mc Kiernan Architects we will fully explore the opportunities offered by the existing property and hopefully discover a more efficient way to utilise the space that you already have and thus minimise or even avoid the need for extending the property at all! Similarly you may feel that your home is simply in need of some modernisation or could benefit from additional natural light to turn it from just a house into a home- we can provide the correct advice that will benefit both the home and its occupants for years to come.
