Community

Award-winning community stakeholder consultation

We strive to create sustainable community buildings that allow for both flexibility and future-proofing at an affordable cost. We believe architectural design should be a contemporary response to both people and place and be progressive and transformative.

Sustainable Community Buildings

Cronin Architects have extensive experience in a range of community projects. We endeavour to work with our clients through detailed and award-winning community stakeholder consultation processes for the delivery of projects which best reflect the needs of clients and end-users.

We believe architectural design should be a contemporary response to both people and place and be progressive and transformative.

Our projects engage with the culture of our age, focusing on designs that are meaningful, functional & accessible for all.

Sustainability
Communities

Buildings can have an ever-changing and lasting impact on the communities around them. As populations grow and change, we believe buildings and architectural spaces must respond to these changes and accommodate the needs of present and future communities.

Stakeholder Management
& Community Buy-In

Cronin Architects have an extensive range of experience in varying community building projects and organizations. We encourage and facilitate stakeholder involvement and participation at the outset and highlight this as a key factor for successful community projects.

Inclusivity & Social Responsibility

Buildings can and should be designed to reflect all of their intended and potential users. We aim for our buildings to do so in an inclusive and socially responsible manner and for the design to reflect this inclusivity.

“Cronin Architects Galway were appointed to provide Architects services on a complex conservation and community project in Tipperary for Conradh na Gaeilge.
We were thoroughly satisfied with their approach and attention to detail and they simplified the whole building design and construction process for us supported by their best practice approach. We would have no hesitation in recommending them for similar projects!”
