Testimonials

“Having viewed their website, we liked their approach to design and so decided to appoint FMP Architects to design and project manage our new house near Schull, Co. Cork. We developed the brief for the design together, going through all our wants and needs. We felt that they listened to us and designed a wonderful house that exceeded our expectations. They were most helpful through a complicated planning process and excelled through the tender and construction stages. Overall, we were very happy with FMP and would highly recommend them in the future.”

“We had a greenfield site and were looking for a high quality, unique design for a new home that suited the needs of us as professionals and our growing family. With a difficult zoning situation, Brian in FMP Architects guided us through the process of designing our new home. We are absolutely thrilled with how it’s turned out. A really nice mixture of stone and metal cladding gave the home the look and feel that we wanted and we couldn’t have imagined how well a layout could suit us, it’s perfect! It is a stunning design and a layout that we will enjoy for decades to come.”

“I have a holiday house by the sea in Baltimore, Co. Cork that I inherited from my parents. My family and my brothers and sisters have been holidaying together there for years. As the family grew with marriages and grandchildren, we decided to extend the house very substantially. (In truth, the place needed to be gutted and very substantially rebuilt.) We wanted to keep the character of the house and wished to extend it with an unusual copper clad roof over a large new bedroom and sitting room. We also wanted underfloor heating and solar water heating. The design to achieve all this was very complicated, particularly to provide access to new bedrooms and new showers in the roof area. We appointed Peter Murphy of FMP Architects as our architect and entrusted him with the design and build. He produced an absolutely brilliant solution which met all of our requirements. He also advised on the appointment of the contractor and supervised the rebuild. We live in Hong Kong and so had to rely on Peter to oversee and organise everything. All was completed beautifully, on time and within budget. Several years have now past since the rebuild and the house is as good as new.”

“Myself and my family were looking to renovate our holiday home in Baltimore, Co. Cork. We live abroad and wanted a larger space for when we stayed in Ireland during the summer months. The house was badly laid out, cold at night and didn’t capture the views of The Cove in Baltimore that we wanted. We also needed more space. We had heard of FMP through friends in the area and they came highly recommended. We wanted someone with excellent design skills, a proven record of delivering projects and knowledge of the locality. FMP fitted that profile perfectly. They were excellent at all points throughout the process, listening to all our requirements from the first meeting to completion and delivering a fabulous building. Their professional manner allayed any worries we had not being able to be their during the build. We love the design and can’t believe how the house has been transformed. We now have everything we wanted and more. Thank you so much.”

“FMP Architects worked on the restoration of the iconic Honan Chapel at University College Cork 2020-2022. As the clients’ representative, I was impressed by the attention to detail, availability and desire to conserve every detail of a complex project. Peter Murphy and his team were intimately involved on a daily basis culminating in the completion of the project, which is widely admired.”

“We needed a home that was all on a single floor and easier to heat while still being close to the amenities and community that we lived in. We wanted a more comfortable home to enjoy our retirement in. Moving in to our new home was like a dream come true. The service FMP Architects provided was second to none. We were delighted with the with the final result and love our new home. “

“Driftwood was indeed a challenge for all involved; that said, the finished building says it all. A joy to live in and an iconic house on the Coast Road, appreciate by residents and passers-by. We thank you and your team for being part of the project success.”
