Architecture
Anthony Reddy Associates designs elegant and well-engineered buildings that suit the clients’ functional and operational needs while generally providing an architectural benefit greater than the brief.

Space planning and interior layout are key considerations, as are cost effective design to budget and programme.

The practice's architectural philosophy avoids the application of a house style, but rather allows each site and its unique context to determine the mass, scale and finish of the building in question.

Emphasis is placed on understanding the culture and working methods of those who will use the facility. Buildings are designed from the inside out to ensure that space planning and interior layout are properly considered.

With the increasing awareness of “green” issues and the move away from the artificially controlled environment the practice seeks in its design work to maximise both natural light and ventilation and to minimise energy and running costs.

Cost effective design to budget and programme form an equally important part of the process of developing and constructing buildings that suit Clients' business and operation needs.

Anthony Reddy Associates buildings are distinctive, economic and soundly engineered and the practice regularly receives both national and regional awards for quality design.

 

 

 

Masterplanning & Urban Design
Anthony Reddy Associates has considerable experience on developing Masterplans for a wide range of projects in Ireland.

When undertaking a Masterplan we have the following aims:

  • the plan must fit with the Client's objectives; it must create an identity and sense of place;
  • it must make the most efficient and economic use of the land, in harmony with the local community's planning objectives;
  • it must be capable of adapting and evolving in line with the area's future development needs and it must enhance the existing environment.

In addition, through its membership of a European architectural practice it can draw on a wide range of international experience.

With an increased emphasis on sustainable design and the encouragement of mixed-use development in Ireland, Urban Design is increasingly important to the quality of our working, leisure and residential environment.

Anthony Reddy Associates considers overall context in each of its building commissions.

 

 

Design

Integrated Design

Space Planning

Interior Design
Our firm creates distinctive well-designed environments that motivate residents and staff and in turn make a major contribution to the clients and tenants performance and profile.

By gaining a clear understanding of the culture of the client body and its needs and aspirations, our design team is able to create an individual and specific response to each commission.
