What Harcourt Architects does

Harcourt Architects is a Dublin-based, RIAI & RIBA registered multidisciplinary architectural practice founded in 2003. The firm delivers project-based architectural design services across four primary verticals — Commercial, Retail, Residential, and Master Planning — to clients in Ireland, the UK, and the USA. Operations are run by a small team of 1-10 employees, led by Founder and Managing Director Justin Kinsella, with Directors Richard Mullin and Paul Kelly, and supported by a Consultant Architect (Damien Culligan, Conservation Grade 3) and a Part 3 Architect (Auveen O'Donnell). The firm's address is Suite 136, GEC, Taylor's Lane, The Liberties, Dublin, D08 YPP9, and it engages clients via direct project commissions and tender-based procurement.

The core offering is professional architectural design, supplemented by a distinctive specialization in 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP), an additive construction technology pursued through a strategic partnership with HTL Tech (Harcourt Technologies Limited), an affiliated entity co-founded by Justin Kinsella in 2021. 3DCP constructs structures layer by layer from digital models, enabling faster build times, reduced material waste, and cost reductions, and has been deployed on social housing projects including the Grange Close scheme for Louth County Council. Director Richard Mullin was the first architect in Ireland to deliver a BCaR-compliant Additive Construction house, positioning Harcourt at the intersection of traditional architecture and emerging MMC-aligned construction technology. Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with no software/SaaS or licensing revenue model in place.
