‘Brendan created a dream home for us retrofitting and extending an existing 1950s house, converting it into a passive home with wide corridors, space, light and a wonderfully impressive entrance.  His design is much admired. He made full use of the features of our site creating a unique and impressive structure which complements and enhances the neighbourhood.  We chose Brendan for his low-energy retrofit credentials and were delighted when we got a BER  A3 for the retrofit.  Brendan offered detailed advice and closely supervised our the installation of our low-energy choices.  Throughout the engagement, he listened patiently to our thoughts and wishes and carefully guided us through all the key decision making processes, design, planning, builder selection, windows, heating and ventilation, kitchens, bathrooms etc.  His attention to detail and supervision of the build was very impressive. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to our friends.’ David, Monkstown.
