Here's an extract from 2012 a time when there was hope...
Now there is no grass and no playground for children that is not the future we want...

Below is a comparison between one of the original Celtcia options and the DCC lead design which borrows many significant elements and intellectual property without consent.
YES.... we help save lives with design :)
The original most flexible design!!!
“Why would you support a design that provides car parking instead of a playground for children? ”

So you think you want a playground for children or car park?
Celtcia have it and more green grass and natural sunlight. Guess the 3 famous people in this image and we will buy you a beer! (Over 18 only! First 3 people only)
Any more requests?
Excited...
As part of our entry for the AAI awards our work was on display at the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland. Attached are some photos and entry board. One off houses could be considered more important than a public space. We hope Ireland can find democracy again one day.
We are offering one lucky person access to our pass to attend AAI lectures and the like! Simply drop us an email with 100 words letting us know how you heard about us and what you know about our work and any ideas you have!
