Tierney Haines Architects is a RIAI Chartered practice with accreditation in Conservation and was established in 2004. Work varies from new houses, to extensions and renovations of protected structures. We look for poetic connections between landscape and buildings, in form, in material and in presence. Each design is a unique response to our clients’ brief and the local environment. We take inspiration from local buildings, traditional methods and more distant forms of architecture.

We aim for our buildings and gardens to delight and surprise. We consider the brief to be a creative discussion with a Client and through models and samples the client can be fully involved in the design process. We aim to make buildings that speak of their time and place, contemporary buildings.

We don’t get involved in neighbour dispute resolution projects.
