John and Francesca Ryan, founding partners of CPR Architects, have a wide range of experience in the private and public sector. The practice has been involved in delivering a variety of residential, office and retail projects. Our work includes buildings located in challenging compact urban plots, in conservation areas, and in areas of beauty around Ireland. As RIAI Grade 3 Conservation Accredited Architects we have restored and adapted many period houses to modern day lifestyles. The reuse of existing building stock is a key contribution to sustainable development and improves the appearance of the local streetscapes. But the practice also prioritises sustainability by designing in a way that maximises energy efficiency. As passive house designers, we may design your home to meet the highest level of energy efficiency. Another key focus for CPR Architects is obtaining value for money on their client’s behalf. At the outset of the project, we research viable alternatives and solutions to suit your budget. The practice’s aim is to ensure quality in both design and workmanship while also monitoring the budget carefully. Finally, we at CPR Architects believe we have the vision and experience to exceed your expectations and deliver a project that meets your needs.
