OUR PRACTICE
Founded in 2010, DSA Architects has spent 16 years developing one of Ireland's most experienced large-scale residential teams. We work with major developers, landowners, and local authorities to take complex, high-density housing schemes from initial concept through planning and on to completion on site.
Our team of architects, urban designers, planners, and technologists brings deep expertise across the full project lifecycle — from feasibility and pre-planning through LRD applications, BCAR certification, and construction delivery. We don't hand projects off. We see them through.
We are a fully BIM-enabled practice and advocate for new technology in architecture — from advanced visualisation to streamlined project management — because we know that better process produces better buildings.
