Quantity Surveying, Project Management, Architectural Design, Civil & Structural Engineering as well as Mechanical & Electrical Design.

Since the dawn of mankind, the construction industry has always been considered as being the main activity by which a countries well being was measured. With this statement in mind we endeavour to offer our clients the best.

Professional Commitment

It is our aim to provide a sound professional service to all of our clientele.
We believe that no job is too small to lack professional attention.
To date, we have managed to sustain a personal involvement in all projects to us entrusted.

We strongly believe that the best way to reciprocate the trust shown by employing our services is to in return deliver to the best of our capabilities.

A well designed building is not something an architect can generate on his/her own. It requires the active participation of a responsive client and an array of specialized skills brought to the project in the form an appropriate team of consultants.

A well designed building cannot be achieved without immense effort and commitment from all of the members of the team. The collaboration of a sympathetic and responsive team, makes all the difference. It is the architect’s talent and vision that allows the team to do their best work for the owner and the general public. Ultimately time, space and money, are the variables that we as team manipulate on a daily basis. Naturally the owner is a key figure within the context of the team.

In summary, each project offers limitations and opportunities. It is always our intention and responsibility to create the most lyrical and elegant solution possible within the constraints of our available resources.

We would be pleased to have the opportunity to be of service.

These services can be provided independently or in combination to suit client preference. Anthony Reddy Associates has a wide range of experience working with both public and private sector clients and has expertise in a wide range of building types.

The practice also has extensive experience working for clients in a wide range of areas including residential, commercial, urban design and urban regeneration.

Over the last twenty two years the company has grown to its present level of 80 staff, with offices in Dublin, Kilkenny and Belfast.

Anthony Reddy Associates has established a growing reputation for the quality of its design work and it’s management of complex building projects. It’s commitment to excellence in the services provided to Clients is reflected in the large number of repeat projects secured.

The firm has undertaken a wide variety of projects and has recognised expertise in many sectors, including:

Anthony Reddy Associates designs elegant and well-engineered buildings that suit the clients’ functional and operational needs while generally providing an architectural benefit greater than the brief.

Space planning and interior layout are key considerations, as are cost effective design to budget and programme.

The practice’s architectural philosophy avoids the application of a house style, but rather allows each site and its unique context to determine the mass, scale and finish of the building in question.

Emphasis is placed on understanding the culture and working methods of those who will use the facility. Buildings are designed from the inside out to ensure that space planning and interior layout are properly considered.

With the increasing awareness of “green” issues and the move away from the artificially controlled environment the practice seeks in its design work to maximise both natural light and ventilation and to minimise energy and running costs.

Cost effective design to budget and programme form an equally important part of the process of developing and constructing buildings that suit Clients’ business and operation needs.

Anthony Reddy Associates buildings are distinctive, economic and soundly engineered and the practice regularly receives both national and regional awards for quality design.

The Practice works closely with it’s clients and consultants on every scheme, no matter the size, endeavouring to provide efficient and cost effective, yet imaginative solutions, in a professional manner throughout the Province and beyond, using the latest Information Technology.

Alan Cook established the practice on 1st January 1989 with offices in Corporation Street, Belfast, close to the Clarendon Dock. The early years included a number of leisure and hotel projects in southwest England, in addition to a widespread portfolio of work throughout Northern Ireland.

The move to the Cottage Studios in Crawfordsburn took place in 1993. This afforded the practice more space and a picturesque working environment only twenty minutes from Belfast City centre. This enabled Alan Cook architects to combine a strong commercial province wide business, with a more local domestic architectural presence.

In April 2005 Alan Cook Architects became a limited company. Alan is the Managing Director and is joined by Christine Cook, Mark Allen, Tim Cook, and Mark Foster as directors. Currently the company has a total of nine members of staff including Chartered Architects, Senior Architectural Technicians and Project Managers through to newly qualified architect’s assistants and technicians. The Company also actively promotes a policy of employing students from both of the local universities.

Philosophy

Hegarty Architects produce distinct and specific buildings for individual sites. There is a consistent philosophical basis for decisions made during any project in terms of urban responses, activity responses and repair. An explanation of this is best set out with reference to the writers who have influenced us organised here as a discourse.

“In contemporary society where journeys into space are common place and satellite technology widespread, information about the earths atmosphere and surface have provided new insight into interactions between the living and inorganic parts of the planet.

From this has arisen my hypothesis, a model, in which the earths living matter, air, oceans and land surface form a complex system which can be seen as a single organism and which has the capacity to keep our planet a fit place for life”.
(from “GAIA” by J.E Lovelock)

The idea that the earth is alive has existed since ancient times. The first scientific expression of this belief was from James Hutton, known as the father of Geology, in a lecture before the royal society of Edinburgh in 1785.

Patrick Geddes, a century later looked at towns and cities. As a biologist interested in the phenomena of life – all life, in “cities in evolution” he displays pictorially the organic development of cities and elaborated his main theme. The city is inseparable from the landscape in which it is set and can only be understood in terms of its geographical situation, its climatic and meteorological facts, its economic bases and its historic heritage.

“Town plans are therefore no mere diagrams they are a system of hieroglyphics in which man has written the history of civilisation and the more tangled their apparent confusion, the more we may be rewarded in deciphering it.”
(from “CITIES IN EVOLUTION” by Patrick Geddes)

“The city is a fact of nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel, or an ant heap. But it is also a conscious work of art and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art.

Mind takes form in the site; and in turn urban forms condition the mind. For space, no less than time, is artfully reorganised in cities, in boundary lines and silhouettes, in the fixing of horizontal plans and vertical peaks, in utilizing or denying the natural site, the city records the attitude of a culture and an epoch to the fundamental facts of its existence.

The dome and the spire, the open avenue and the closed court, tell the story, not merely of different physical accommodations, but of essentially different conceptions of man’s destiny.

The city is both a physical utility for collective living and a symbol of those collective purposes and unanimities, which arise under such favouring circumstance. With language itself, it remains man’s greatest work of art”.
(from “THE CULTURE OF CITIES” by Lewis Mumford)

“A city is the expression of the diversity of social relationships which have become fused into a single organism”.
(from “SPACE, TIME, AND ARCHITECTURE” by S.Guidion)

“An organic architecture means more or less an organic society. Organic ideals of integral building reject rules imposed by exterior aestheticism or mere taste”.
(from “TOWARDS AN ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE” by Bruno Zevi)

“Every act of building is, with respect to it’s larger context, an act of repair: a part of the much larger process in which several acts together generate the larger wholes from which a building complex or a town is made”.
(from “A TIMELESS WAY OF BUILDING” by C.Alexander 1967)

Our attitude towards building use develops as the brief and design develop. Buildings are complex and must respond to both the existing and potential urban fabric and specific site considerations as I have established with reference to the above writers and others.

The building as a technology dependant resource has to have the flexibility to accommodate whatever advances arise. This requires a new type of architecture, not derived from compositions of solid and void, but based on attention to active and passive surfaces, spaces and places and the provision of a suitable framework to support these activities.

“Each building, when it is first built, is an attempt to make a self-maintaining whole configuration. But our predications are invariably wrong. People use buildings differently from the way they thought they would”.
(from “A TIMELESS WAY OF BUILDING” by C.Alexander)

“Several acts of building, each one done to repair and magnify the product of the previous acts, will slowly generate a larger and more complex whole than any single act can generate”.
(from “A TIMELESS WAY OF BUILDING” by C.Alexander)

“The idea of self-denial for the sake of posterity, of practising present economy for the sake of debtors yet unborn, of planting forests that our descendants may live under their shade, or of raising cities for future nations to inhabit, never, I suppose, efficiently takes place among publicly recognised motives of exertion. Yet these are not the less our duties; nor is our part fitly sustained upon the earth, usefulness include, not only the companions but the successors, of our pilgrimage”.
(from “THE SEVEN LAMPS OF ARCHITECTURE” (the lamp of memory) by John Ruskin 1907

We all actively analyse our environment whether consciously for example while working, or sub-consciously by living and participating in a city or rural environment. Any building therefore should become identifiable within the urban framework, while also facilitate future changes to the framework.

Any building or building complex has to provide a marker of its own existence to the outside world and people who approach the site. In local terms at any specific site the building exists within the city, town or rural environment, both in location and function. This can be marked as part of a marker sequence.

It may also be possible to expand a brief beyond what the client may have determined as their immediate needs. For example it may be possible to encourage public pedestrian use of part of a given site to increase the social vitality and in turn the commercial viability of a given development. Identifying such a potential route would be an act urban repair.

At the same time any building has to respond to the scale and mass of the surrounding buildings and spaces and become appropriate for the location as well as the function. To this end we take the view that while any building should be polite to the scale and nature of any surrounding buildings of local historical importance, any new building must be true to itself, its age, its use and its technology.
