HOUSE7 Architects is a Dublin-based architectural practice specializing in residential projects. The practice is registered with the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) and brings over 15 years of specialist experience in the field. Their primary focus is on private homes, working on energy upgrades, renovations, extensions, and new-build houses. The founding architect, Patrick Lynch, MRIAI, has been noted for developing solutions tailored to individual family needs.
HOUSE7 maintains a client-focused approach, evidenced by detailed project briefs and scaled design sketches that incorporate specific requirements, down to furniture placement. The practice balances practical needs with an attention to context, often working on period properties or homes with complex spatial or lighting challenges.
Recent projects include an extension for an Edwardian redbrick house on Lindsay Road, Dublin 9. The extension, measuring 35.1 square metres, addressed insulation issues, improved natural light, and created open-plan living space, completed in 20 weeks with a budget of €100,000. Another example, Martello Cottage, involved a sensitive expansion of a mid-1920s house, emphasizing both preservation of original architecture and the integration of contemporary living spaces.
The scope of work at HOUSE7 ranges from small-scale energy retrofits to substantial extensions and new constructions. Their portfolio reveals a consistent commitment to blending modern functionality with respect for the existing character of each site. Current descriptions of their work do not cite large commercial or public projects, indicating a strong, sustained focus on residential architecture.
