Studio
Characterised by a collaborative, aspirational, and evidence-based approach to our work.
About us
We have a distinguished track record in the provision of skilled architectural services.
Over the past 100 years, the practice has gained an in-depth working knowledge of many building types and how to deliver them. Workplace, retail, cultural, hospitality, educational and residential buildings, often in mixed-use developments and complex urban contexts, form the cornerstones of our output. Most projects span every aspect of scale from strategic planning and urban regeneration to interior design and detailing. We believe we can bring something unique and special to each and every project.
We have a rich legacy characterised by our collaborative, aspirational, and evidence-based approach to design. With expertise in architecture, interior design, masterplanning and heritage projects, our design teams create environments that are vibrant, sustainable, and uplifting for both the end user and the public.
Our approach
We listen carefully, we explore ideas and we deliver strongly formed buildings that respond directly to client needs and the project’s particular surroundings.
We believe that buildings should be centred around people. We also believe that collaborating with clients and other design specialists in an open way allows the design process to be enhanced. Architecture should always be particular to its surroundings and carefully considerate of its functions and social context. Thus making a positive contribution to the built environment, to the city, to the landscape, and to the community it serves.
We work openly and collaboratively with client project teams to interrogate and identify opportunities for innovation during all stages of the project cycle. We are an open, flexible organisation, established to realise the ideas and the intentions of our clients, assisting them to navigate through the highly regulated environment in which buildings are created. The quality of our work often exceeds client expectations and has been recognised by multiple awards from both the design and construction communities.
Philosophy
Driven by
shared ambitions.
At Henry J Lyons, we are collectively driven by shared ambitions. This culture permeates our Dublin and Cork studios and contributes to the ongoing success of our practice.
It is within this environment and atmosphere that our architectural, design and support staff can develop to reach their professional potential, hone their skills and become collaborative team members. It is through these shared ambitions that our studios find unity and can function at the level demanded by our clients.
