The work of the practice extends across a wide range of interests including contemporary design – largely in the field of social and affordable housing and sensitive conservation – including the creative reuse of historic buildings. Throughout all projects runs a deep commitment to environmental sustainability through design and conservation. HHA has established an impressive reputation for the sensitive conservation of historic buildings and places, and has been responsible for numerous projects of national and international cultural significance including Russborough, Lambay Castle, Dromoland and Larch Hill Demesnes, and the monumental Browne Clayton Column. Open competition successes for new projects include the Millennium Bridge over the River Liffey and the Holles Street Affordable Housing Competition, (both as winners) and the Ballymun Gateway Competition, where they were adjudged runners up. The Millennium Bridge involved the sensitive integration of a new contemporary structure into the historic Dublin Quays. Conservation projects for which he has been responsible have won RIAI, Plan Expo and Europa Nostra Awards and have been published widely in journals within Ireland and the United Kingdom.
