Shane Doherty Architecture are delighted to be involved in the launch of the Inishowen Business Alliance on Thursday 5th November.🤝

As a smaller business owner, I see great value in the opportunity to connect with other businesses across Inishowen, particularly those who have years of experience in growing and managing their businesses.

There's a lot to be gained from building relationships, sharing experiences and learning from others who have already faced many of the challenges that come with running a business.

Having a network of people to turn to for advice, support or guidance is invaluable, and I believe that's where the real strength of this initiative lies.

It's a great opportunity for businesses of all sizes to support one another, share knowledge and help strengthen our local business community.

I'm looking forward to taking part in the fireside discussion on the evening and hearing the views and experiences of others involved.

📅 Thursday 5th November 2026
🕖 7.00pm
📍 Inishowen Gateway Hotel, Buncrana, County Donegal

I'd encourage anyone in business locally to come along and find out more.

🏡 Following on from our recent video of this family home renovation in Shrove, Inishowen, we're sharing some before and after photographs to give you a better look at the changes throughout the house and grounds.

From the original brickwork and corner windows that were carefully retained, to the new kitchen and living extension, the photographs show how this 1960s home has been transformed while keeping its original character.

The changes to the rear of the house have made a particular difference, bringing in more natural light, opening up the living spaces and making the most of the garden and views towards Lough Foyle.

It's lovely to see this house, which has been in the same family for generations, brought back to life and ready for its next chapter. 💚

Good design starts with informed decisions. 🏡

Our team at Shane Doherty Architecture recently enjoyed a very informative training session with Christy and the team at
Efficient Renewables Limited visiting their Ecoforest showroom and training centre.

We explored geothermal and air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating, ventilation and solar panels, and how these systems work together with the design and fabric of a building.

The visit reinforced the value of involving specialist partners early in the design process. Planning for everything from plant room space to heating and ventilation can help avoid costly changes later and improve the comfort, efficiency and running costs of a home.

Building our knowledge helps us guide clients through these decisions with greater confidence and provide a better service from the outset.

Thanks to Christy and everyone at Efficient Renewables for sharing their expertise, the warm welcome and an excellent lunch!

🏡 Thank you for all the lovely comments on our recent video of this Defective Concrete Block Rebuild in Gleneely, Inishowen.

We wanted to follow on with a few photographs to give you a closer look at the architecture, design and detailing throughout the finished home.

From the use of natural stone and corner glazing to the layout, light and practical family spaces, every part of the house was carefully considered to create a home that works for the family who live in it.

🏠Join Shane Doherty Architecture as we take a look around some of the beautiful homes we’ve designed across Donegal.

First up, a Defective Concrete Block Rebuild in Gleneely, Inishowen.
A family home designed around how the family actually lives.🏠

With four teenage children, our clients needed to retain five bedrooms and generous living space while completely rethinking their home on a tight, established site.

The design went through several variations to ensure every element worked, carefully balancing internal space, outward views, natural light, access and garden areas while creating a more contemporary and functional family home.

At the heart of the house is a generous open-plan living area, subtly divided into distinct kitchen, dining and living zones. This gives the family the practicality and connection of open-plan living while creating more comfortable, intimate spaces within the larger room.

The modern kitchen was designed to meet the demands of a large, busy family, with a walk-in pantry and extensive storage helping to keep the main living space organised and uncluttered.🙌

A separate snug provides a quieter, more relaxed room away from the activity of the open-plan area, an important addition in a busy family home.

The rear entrance was also carefully planned around the realities of everyday family and farm life. It opens into a practical transition space, with the boot room and utility area immediately accessible before entering the main house. Cleverly integrated storage has been incorporated throughout, ensuring that every available area works as efficiently as possible.

During construction, the clients identified the potential to make use of the large attic. We worked closely with the contractor to develop a practical solution and make it happen, creating a fantastic additional space for the teenagers, accessed by a cleverly concealed staircase.

A discreet home office was also incorporated into the design, providing a quiet and practical workspace without taking away from the main living areas.
The completed home combines natural stone with contemporary detailing, flat-roof elements and corner glazing, complemented by an exceptional standard of finish throughout.

For us at , this project is a great example of what thoughtful residential design is all about: creating a home that truly works for the people who live in it.

🏆 Congratulations to Mayo
2026 All-Ireland Senior Football Champions! 🟢🔴

What a day for Mayo football, and what a moment for everyone connected to the county.👍

We have strong Mayo connections through my brother-in-law, who proudly hails from Mayo, as well as our connection to the McDonald family.
That made today's victory even more special for us.

Watching the emotion on the faces of the players, families, supporters and people of Mayo after the final whistle is exactly what the GAA is all about.
It's more than sport, it's about community and memories that will last a lifetime. Everyone was willing Mayo GAA to win today!

From all of us at Shane Doherty Architecture, congratulations to everyone from Mayo, both at home and across the world. Enjoy every minute of the celebrations, they are well deserved.
