Tom graduated from UCD in 1991, and established his practice that same year. Since this time he has cut a singular path, establishing a clear position through work which seeks to communicate spatially and in detail regardless of programme or location. In the work process narrative, reference, and material are frequently interwoven and infected by sensitivity to context, the material experience of construction and light.
Underpinned by a conviction in the creative design process the built projects illustrate a concern with perception, construction and tradition. Projects such as...

Theirs is an architecture of minimal means. They have a careful eye for latent possibilities in the fabric where they work, and many of their projects find their language in these observations. They build on these with typological references and an unsentimental engagement with the realities of contemporary construction. Refreshingly they welcome budget negotiations as a means to engage with reality. In this there is no reduction of ambition, but...

Invested in a deep knowledge of the history of architecture, they critically examine contemporary tectonics in a search for an appropriate civic language.
They do not seek significance in monumentality or in the weight of material expression. Rather they find it by considering external insulation, rain s...
