Testimonials

what our clients say about us

“We chose Alan to design our house as he has a unique style to other designers. The process was quite easy, Alan asked us for a wish list of what we would like in our house, and he came back with a design that we fell in love with. We would highly recommend Alan if you were planning to build your dream home.”

Michelle & David

“Alan created an amazing new space for our family unit whilst also ensuring an accessible space for one of our children. Alan was highly professional keeping us informed at every stage of the process. His attention to detail, care and support. throughout the extension was fantastic. Any questions were answered quickly and concisely. Alan’s calm, engaging, patient and professional approach made him a pleasure to deal with. He transformed our home giving us all a new lease of life as a family unit. We absolutely love our newly adapted home. Thank you Alan.”

McLoughlin Family

“We have enjoyed an exceptional and positive experience with Arcdoyle and Alan. Personalisation and customisation; Alan listens to what you want and does his best to realise this on paper. We’ve felt valued and listened to since the first interaction on what can be a pretty daunting journey. We would recommend anyone and everyone to simply have an initial chat with Alan and see what you think from there. We did and haven’t regretted it for a minute. His expertise comes across knowledgeably and thoughtfully if there’s something that isn’t feasible and he finds the best workaround. The personal touch counts for a lot and he makes you feel like a very valued customer. Alan has been the supportive expert we’ve needed throughout the process and we’re very looking forward to enjoying a home that we and he are very much proud of.”

Neil & Linda

“Alan drew up our house plans almost 9 years ago and since then we have had (three) children- and yet we are as happy today with our plans as we were initially. It was a pleasure to work with Alan- he ensured the layout of our home would always work for us and our family. He really took on board our list of requirements and turned them into a beautiful, functional and flexible family home. We always get compliments on the appearance of the house and its layout. So many of our friends and family have availed of Alan’s services after seeing our home”

Laura & Ronan

“Having seen some of the work carried out by ARCDOYLE Design, I came to Alan to design a house for me from a blank canvass and get me through the planning stage. I wanted something spacious, bright, modern and different, other than that I had no clear thoughts for guidance on what I wanted. Alan took the challenge and from that created a space to live that I could never have imagined. It showed careful consideration for current day to day life, while also considering how that life may change into the future. Every little detail thought through and a reason for everything being the way it was. All done while being mindful of the limited budget involved. We are thrilled to now live in and enjoy the vision that was created for us as it turns into a family home. I will be forever thankful and would have no hesitation in recommending ARCDOYLE Design to others as I have already done”

David

“Alan was a pleasure to work alongside. He came highly recommended to us, and we have been in no doubt since to recommend him to our family & friends that are starting their planning process. His advice & support from beginning to end of our planning process was invaluable. From our first meeting we were immediately put at ease with Alan’s knowledge and skills, creating a unique & extremely practical design, having careful consideration for day to day life & for any future needs we may have. He listened to exactly we were looking for in a home, all the while keeping our budget throughout . It can be a daunting process, but we felt valued and listened to at every stage with Alan, every question or request we had along the way was answered in detail, and with great patience! His communication & response times throughout were exceptional and you can clearly see the amount of thought and time he puts in to his designs. We have had such a positive experience with our design process and that was all down to Alan & his expertise.

Amie & Kevin

“Alan was extremely professional, friendly, reliable and a pleasure to work alongside. He offered us great advice and useful design ideas for our space. Alan met all our design needs while keeping in mind our budget throughout. He also went above and beyond in getting us quotes from other professionals and tradesmen. Alan was also extremely knowledgeable in the planning application process and provided a lot of advice to help the process along. So much so we were granted planning first time round! We would not hesitate to recommend he’s service”

Triona & Rory

“ Alan`s creative Architectural Design ideas helped us maximise space in our renovation project. Through clever designs including modernisation, storage layouts, window details and outdoor-patio positioning ensures our home will utilise every inch of the existing layout. We highly recommend ArcDoyle for their professionalism, attention to detail and approachable nature. Thanks Alan! 

 

David & Aideen

“We are beyond thrilled with the incredible transformation of our existing house into a stunning new home, complete with both a main house and a separate apartment. Alan of Arcdoyle Design delivered a truly exceptional design that far exceeded our expectations and initial imagination. Despite being based in the UK at the time, Alan managed every aspect of the project seamlessly, delivering a “wow” design that perfectly balanced functionality, aesthetics, and comfort. His expertise extended beyond design—he handled the planning application with the council effortlessly and was always approachable, ensuring we could ask questions and make informed decisions throughout the process. From start to finish, working with Alan was a fantastic experience. His keen eye for detail, innovative approach, and commitment to creating a home that suited our needs made all the difference. We couldn’t be happier with the results! As Alan embarks on this exciting new chapter back in Ireland, we have no doubt his talent and passion will continue to shine. We highly recommend Arcdoyle Design to anyone looking for expert Architectural services that blend creativity, practicality, and an unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. Wishing Alan every success in his new venture—thank you again for making our dream home a reality!

Honoria

“We both liked very different styles of houses / Architecture, so our main obstacle was trying to seamlessly blend and old style with a more contemporary style, this is where Alan’s expertise and knowledge was really valuable. Alan’s ability to create a design that is functional, spacious and aesthetically pleasing whilst incorporating your wish list of features is impressive, his attention to detail and knowledge on how best to utilise space is another key quality.We recently moved into our home, not only being very pleased with our design, the flow of the house also works really well which is testament to Alan’s ability to create a functional, well connected, space filled with natural light. Overall, very happy with the service and would highly recommend. 

Niall & Alison

“From start to finish Alan listened to my ideas and came up with some further fantastic ideas to enhance them even more; which I would not have in my house today only for Alan. I now have a house that has maximum sunlight, practical use of space thanks to Alan’s services. Alan listened to my ideas and the plans I had in my head, worked with me so that I was happy throughout the whole process. I have no hesitation in recommending Alan and at all times during what could have been a very stressful time Alan was a pleasure to work with.

Nigel

From the initial consultation we had with Alan he showed us the real potential of the site for our house and how by changing the orientation of our plans would provide us with a more functional and modern house which we can now see the benefit of this everyday with the constant natural daylight throughout our spacious family home.  Alan took on board our requirements and incorporated these into the house plans accordingly. The professional approach and service provided throughout the whole process was seamless and we also felt constantly reassured with the planning process as we were kept updated with progress at all times. It was by far the best decision and investment we made by availing of ArcDoyle Design in designing our house, as he had great vision of what the site had to offer.  He incorporated our ideas while also encouraging us to broaden our design concept and came up with workable solutions which has resulted in us have a modern high standard family home.

We already have and would highly recommend ArcDoyle Design to anyone planning their home.

Nuala & Noel

We knew from day one we wanted Alan to design our home. We have seen many of the houses he has designed and love them all. He is very easy to talk to and is good at listening to what you need while also making good suggestions. We are renovating and extending an old farm house including an outbuilding and we weren’t sure what way it would work. We gave Alan an idea of what rooms we wanted in the house but had no idea what it was going to look like but we trusted him and knew he would come back with something unique. Alan came up with a plan that we loved keeping a nice blend of traditional and modern. Alan also prepared and obtained planning permission, making the process very easy for us.

Stacey & Barry

“We approached Alan with a view of changing our entrance and reception area and the design Alan came back with hit the brief 100%. We were highly impressed with his ability to listen and understand, whilst always being prompt, polite and approachable. The final result is a testimony in itself. We would have no hesitation in recommending Alan to any private or commercial build and we wish him well in the future.

Turoe Pet Farm

We had the pleasure of working with Alan Doyle of ARCDOYLE Design Ltd. over ten years ago when designing our modern family home. From the outset, Alan demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to bringing our vision to life. He was always available to discuss any tweaks or changes, offering sound advice without being overbearing. His ability to listen, adapt, and guide us in the right direction made the entire process smoother and more enjoyable. We particularly appreciated Alan’s focus on maximising natural light and views, as well as practical considerations like window shapes and sizes—something we hadn’t initially thought about. Looking back, we are still incredibly happy with our home and would not hesitate to use ARCDOYLE Design Ltd. again or recommend their services to others.

Colin & Lorraine

We used Alan to design our 3rd house . This was not a easy task for Alan as I new what I wanted and was quiet strong headed with that. In fairness to Alan he showed great strength and character when it came down to dealing with me. Alan is blessed with patience. I would highly recommend Alan, you won’t get a easier man to deal with, Thanks Alan.

Regina & Adrian

Alan designed a beautiful home for us, he listened to our brief and offered alternative modern suggestions to design a great functional family house. Alan has great design skills and gives great attention to detail that makes the process so much easier and enjoyable. Would recommend Alan to anyone that is looking for fresh outlook on design.

Carmel & Seamus

We brought Alan on board to help us make better use of the space and light in our self-build, and we’re really glad we did. The structure was already in place, but we felt like it wasn’t quite working as well as it could. Alan had some great ideas that made a big difference, small changes that had a real impact, especially with how the light moves through the house now. It feels brighter and more comfortable, and just works better for day-to-day living. Very easy to deal with, always listened to what we were after, and worked well within the limitations of the existing design. We’d have no problem recommending Alan to anyone.

John & Roisin

We highly recommend ARCDOYLE Design Ltd. based on our exceptional experience. Alan provided outstanding support and empathy throughout our home renovation and extension project from early 2024 to planning submission in late 2024. We appreciated his attention to detail and guidance, particularly in helping us define our design priorities, such as style, efficiency, space, and sustainability. Alan’s personalised approach involved multiple in-person meetings, site visits, and introducing creative concepts and resources that expanded our understanding and confidence in making decisions. His proactive advice ensured the design process was thorough and well-organised, avoiding issues that might arise later during construction. Alan’s support extended to guiding the planning application process, which was completed smoothly and approved on the first attempt. Alan’s professionalism, innovative thinking, and genuine commitment to understanding our family’s needs and vision for the future. We felt the service was highly collaborative and never transactional, making the experience both reassuring and rewarding. Ultimately, Alan’s expertise and approach contributed significantly to our project’s success.

Peter & Aoife

ARCDOYLE designed our house from scratch and handled the planning application process for us. We felt they understood exactly what we wanted to build and we were delighted with the design and the attention to detail. They made the planning application very easy for us also. We were extremely happy with their service. Alan was a constant support throughout the build and he was always there on the phone for any questions. From our first meeting with Alan, we knew he understood our ideas and plans for the type of house we wanted to build. He made us feel at ease straight away and we knew he respected our ideas while coming up with brilliant suggestions of his own. His attention to detail was incredible. We couldn’t recommend ARCDOYLE highly enough.

 

Noel & Lorraine

We were referred to Alan by a previous happy customer—and we can absolutely see why. From the beginning, he was fantastic to work with: full of creative, out-of-the-box ideas (some so bold we had to gently rein him in now and then!). But that spark of innovation was exactly what made the experience so enjoyable. 

Our project was complex—a blend of renovation, extension, and future demolition of part of the existing structure. His attention to detail, particularly with the older part of the property, was exceptional. He took every element into account—windows, doors, chimneys, walls—to help us minimise future costs and major works when the renovation phase comes around, while still maximizing how well everything flows into the new build. 

Communication was always clear and timely. We felt fully informed throughout, and any changes were handled with great professionalism. Even the integration of services like the septic tank and envisioning future landscaping were given careful thought. 

We truly feel the service was worth every penny. His authentic approach, attention to detail, and customer focus really stood out. We’ve already recommended him to several friends and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. 

Alibhe & Ian

Embarking on a self-build as a single person had some budget constraints. However, Alan designed a house that met all my requirements and incorporated some fabulous features all within my budget. Working with Alan on the design of my new home has been an absolute pleasure. His expertise and creativity ensured that the final plans are everything I wanted and more. From start to finish, Alan made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. He really took the time to listen to what I wanted and brought brilliant design ideas to the table. I’m currently in the middle of the build and can’t wait to see the finished product. I would have no hesitation recommending ARCDOYLE Design.

Orla

After being turned town for planning on our first attempt with a different Architectural Firm. We found Alan, and he worked with us to achieve our desired home. He explained to us the planning process and designed our perfect home with a vast knowledge of the local authority preferences. Joyfully we were granted planning first time. Alan was so easy to deal with, friendly, accessible and professional, I could not recommend ARCDOYLE and his team highly enough. They made the process so easy and enjoyable for us, which just shows the hard work on their behalf.

Sean & Ursula

We have known Alan for quite a long time now. We always felt so comfortable and relaxed around him which is so important when someone is designing your home. You could ring him anytime. Alan was always so prompt in answering his phone and replying to emails. Alan is so relaxed and so friendly. We changed our minds completely about what we wanted after he had drawn up the first set of plans but Alan was so accommodating. He always has great patients!! He has amazing ideas for creating that beautiful home. We would highly recommend Alan.


Seamus & Majella

ArcDoyle Design was recommended to us by family & friends. From the first day we met with Alan he was very professional. He took particular interest into our wish lists and personal styles. We found Alan to be very knowledgeable and felt he really brought our vision to life. His attention to detail is second to none. We had no experience in the planning application process and Alan made this very simple and straightforward for us. We got our planning application granted with the County Council on the first attempt with no issues. We put this down to Alan’s foresight and knowledge around the planning process. Overall, we really enjoyed the whole process and our experience with Alan has been brilliant. We would highly recommend ArcDoyle Design to anyone looking for an honest, professional Architectural Design Company.

Joesph & Rachael

Alan from Arcdoyle Design Ltd designed & managed the planning application of our new family home which was completed in 2013. It was a long journey to plan & build a new house but with the support of Alan, we now have a beautiful light-filled, very comfortable, modern family home. The end result is fantastic and we’re extremely happy. Alan was easy to deal with, made great suggestions and listened to our needs. Alan went above and beyond liaising with the planning officer in relation to the planning application and any issues that arose. We would certainly recommend Arcdoyle Design Ltd to family and friends.

Padraid & Edel

I was absolutely thrilled with the plans that Alan Doyle created for my home. From the very first consultation he listened carefully to my needs, ideas and budget and he really just brought them to life with an innovative and thoughtful design, maximising functionality, exposure to sunlight, and overall functionality. I highly recommend ARCDOYLE to anyone looking to design a dream home that is both beautiful and practical.

Clodagh

I had the pleasure of working with Alan in ARCDOYLE on designing my new home which involved renovating & extending our existing farm house. He took time to listen my ideas and preferences ensuring that every detail reflected what I wanted. He provided insightful suggestions that enhanced the overall concept while respecting my budget constraints. His ability to balance creativity with practicality was impressive resulting in a design that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. His communication was seamless, keeping me informed of every detail, providing me updates when needed and answering any questions I had. I wholeheartedly recommend ARCDOYLE’s service to anyone looking for a professional service who combines all of the above and one of the best decisions I’ve made regarding my home renovation project.

Annette

We had an excellent experience with Alan. Our project was merging an old house to a new house. Alan came and looked at the project, asked what we wanted and was back with ideas in a very short space of time. He came up with ideas that gave our home a `wow factor` including the choice of materials for the external cladding to make it tie in seamlessly.

 

Robert & Mary Teresa

Arcdoyle provided Architectural drawings for the purpose of my self build, including site layout. Alan managed the planning permission process for us which was extremely efficient and a smooth process. Alan’s professionalism and attention to detail were second to none. We were extremely happy with his services. Alan took the stress of us and dealt with the planning permission process directly with our City Council. Our build was completed in a timely manner and we were thrilled with the finished house which was as per Alan’s Architectural drawings in line with our vision of how we wanted our house to be designed. I Would highly recommend Arcdoyle for all of your Architectural Design and planning needs.
