Great article in the local Nenagh Guardian newspaper, thank you for your support! Lovely photo of me and my dad taken by my mum – all the family involved.
Thank you to all who participated and donated so generously. For those of you who took part in the consultation with us, O’Neill Architecture is offering a 10% reduction in follow up Design Clinics!
O’Neill Architecture are offering one hour consultations for the Simon Open Door charity. Steeples Cafe in Nenagh are kindly hosting our event in their lovely space on the first floor.
There are still some slots available for the Thursday and Friday, 11th & 12th April 2024. This year it will be Patti O’Neill, MRIAI and her dad Don O’Neill FRIAI who will offer the consultation together so you are getting two for the price of one!
Looking forward to meeting all those who are signing up and working on your projects.
This evening I made my first ever wreath. It was a very joyful experience as I wandered through the garden finding all this lovely foliage which was then crafted into this colourful, multi-textured masterpiece of Nature.
It is the most wonderful time of year where the sun seems large yet weak and rare. I find myself constantly drawing curtains as I rush out to take in the dawn and the dusk to avail of all and any light. And now just days to go when all will be reversed and our precious sun will return.
While making the wreath I was mindful of the cycles of the skyclock and its luminaries and the wondrous effects they have on us.
Wishing you all the very best in this new yearly cycle that stand just days before us and these ‘holydays’!

This is the photo taken during the intro of a presentation at a Tipperary Green Business Network event this summer at Brookfield Farm Co. Tipperary.
Although the photo is not that flattering it depicts my sentiment perfectly regarding modern synthetic building materials!
The video is an excerpt of the talk but please forgive the camera not being in focus, the narrative makes up for it.
The awards reception took place in the evening of the 20th October 2022 in the beautiful Irish Georgian Society headquarters in City Assembly House, 58 South William Street, Dublin.
Here are some photos of our entry in this lovely exhibition which we are very proud to be included in. Congratulations to the winners and all the practices that participated. It must have been a difficult process judging such varying projects in conservation but what we all have in common is a passion for our built heritage.

A great day at Rhubarb Patch House presenting our contributions to a stunning cottage & barn renovation by homeowners Kevin and Lindsay Deely. Three years ago the project started with a Design Clinic with O’Neill Architecture.
We had two tours each with a very interested and enthusiastic audience. Lindsay gave the introduction and told the story of the journey of the building project, I described the design process and natural materials suitable for stone constructions, and the main contractor Laurik Mathieu of Mathieu & Mitchell Ltd, conveyed his passion for the lime renders and hemp lime insulation.
photo from December 2019 – the first Design Clinic

And 3 years later a super cozy home for Lindsay and Kevin to enjoy after all their hard work. Well done guys – an inspiration for all people thinking of doing up a cottage!
