RIAI Simon Open Door

This weekend, hundreds of consultations will be happening all around the country in aid of the Simon Community.

Last year, I had a consultation with a couple through the Simon Open Door Campaign who were planning to downsize and we're looking for some ideas for a new, modern, 2 bedroom home.
Last month, Planning Permission was Granted for that new house.

This is a 3D printed model of that house. A single storey, modern, 100sqm house that will suit the couple perfectly for many years to come.

The RIAI Simon Open Door is a perfect way to engage with an Architect and get an understanding of how they can assist with your project before fully committing to their services.
