Core offering

Quinn Architects is a long-established architectural consultancy providing design, planning, and project delivery services across healthcare, education, conservation, masterplanning, commercial, residential, and community/urban regeneration sectors. The firm operates as a single unified practice, drawing specialist teams from one studio rather than procuring external consultants, and is engaged as the appointed architect of record on behalf of public and private clients.

Product overview

Quinn Architects is a long-established architectural consultancy practice (founded 1952) offering comprehensive architectural services across multiple specializations.

Their project portfolio spans distinct types including healthcare facilities (Primary Care Centres, Hospices), educational institutions (schools, SEN units), residential developments, community/cultural facilities, and commercial/industrial projects. The firm is led by Managing Director Cathal Quinn and has a demonstrated expertise in healthcare design, notably winning the UK Healthcare Design Award for Enniscorthy Primary Care Centre.
