What Mcgarry-Moon Architects Ltd does

McGarry-Moon Architects Ltd is a small, privately-held architectural practice founded in May 2004 by Jessica McGarry (BSc. BArch Hons RIBA, University of Dundee) and Steven Moon, both previously trained at prestigious UK and Irish firms including JM Architects, Thomas Ford & Partners, GM Design, and Taylor Architects. The practice was originally established in London and relocated its operational base to Northern Ireland after being appointed as lead architects on multiple projects across Ireland. It operates from a single headquarters at 9 Fallahogey Road, Kilrea, Coleraine, with a team of 1-10 employees.

The firm provides bespoke architectural design services specialising in contemporary, sustainable, and environmentally conscious architecture for residential and commercial clients. Its core offering is end-to-end design delivery from concept through construction, using sketches, drawings, physical models, and 3D computer modelling to develop site-responsive contemporary living solutions. Notable projects include Fallahogey House (2009 RIBA National Award), Glenariffe House (2012 RIBA National Award), Loughloughan Barn (2014 RIBA Regional Award), and Fallahogey Studio (2017 RIBA National Award; 2019 EU Mies van der Rohe Award nominee), spanning residential and commercial/workplace typologies across the UK and Ireland.

The business operates a project-based professional services revenue model, charging bespoke fees per engagement to a primary customer segment of high-net-worth private clients, families, and organisations. Project acquisition is relationship- and reputation-driven, supported by an award-laden portfolio, Dezeen-level international press coverage, a portfolio website, and an active Instagram channel (@mcgarry_moon). Active projects are in progress across London, Belfast, Edinburgh, Sligo, and other regions in the UK and Ireland, with the practice operating as a traditional architecture studio rather than a scalable platform business.
