About Us

People-led design

Some architects say they are design led. We, at O’Leary Sludds Architects, are people led. We spend time getting to know the real needs of the people who will use a building or a space, whether it’s a medical device facility, a school or your dream home.

A safe pair of hands

We can assure you that we will create a space that will really serve you, your end users or your family well while you get to concentrate on whatever it is you do – run a business, educate the next generation, commission another building or live your life.

Award-winning design

We create beautiful and well-designed spaces in the educational, commercial, pharma-medical and Passive House sectors. Our design capabilities have been recognised by our peers and several of our schemes have been featured on television and in print media. See some examples of our work here.

Passionate about Passive House

We really enjoy working on bespoke house designs and refurbishments, especially Passive House or EnerPHit projects. We are certified European Passive House designers and, as a practice, are passionate about energy-efficient design.
