About Us

Allow Us To Introduce Ourselves

We Are Architects, Planning Consultants And Project Supervisors

Our passion is three generations deep. Our grandfather, a school teacher and a land surveyor taught our father how to survey properties when he was a boy. This time spent with his father sparked a curiosity within him. A curiosity that continues to burn brightly to this day. And so, our father has been in the construction industry, building houses since the 1980’s. Growing up, as children we would emulate how our father would observe and analyse every house we passed. With passionate curiosity we would study each building and ask ourselves, “Was that successful? Could it have been done in a simpler way that would result in a better outcome?” It was these questions that sent us on this trajectory, resulting in MORE Architecture’s conception.

If we are lucky enough to work with you on your project and guide you on this journey, you will see how we place professionalism and design on the highest pediment. Our buildings are beautifully designed, are suited for the Irish climate, cost effective to build and are perfect for our clients to live in. We are extremely proud to be delivering on these fundamentals every day and would love to be a part of your project.

Ian O'Reilly

Architect - A.T - Director

Ian is a registered member of the Royal Institute of Architects Ireland. Ian graduated from Waterford Institute of Technology in 2009 as an architect. Ian initially graduated from W.I.T as an architectural technologist. He decided to extend his time in Waterford by signing up for the architecture degree. After graduating in 2009 as an architect Ian quickly gained experience in Planning Permission consultancy while working for an architectural practice in Virgina, Co. Cavan. However, it wasn’t long before the call of larger projects came knocking on Ian’s door. He decided to emigrate to London where he would have the opportunity to work on large scale projects for high end clients.
