Founded in 1966, Taylor McCarney Architects are one of Ireland’s leading design consultancies employing more than 40 experienced and forward thinking staff. Our methodology is one of exploration and evolution, balancing aspirations and ideas with the realities of finance, function and context. Responding to the needs of our clients is of paramount importance and we believe that this can only be achieved through open and direct dialogue.

It is this philosophy, aligned with strong design principals that respond to each project site and local environment, that have helped us grow and receive international recognition and awards over the years. As the industry has evolved from the scenario where clients managed Architect led design teams so Taylor Group has grown to meet the requirement for a single entity which can provide a complete service covering all aspects of Engineering, Procurement and Construction management. The Taylor approach is to carefully choose a team of partners to ensure the client fully realises the benefits from all projects.

These partners include multi-national engineering firms and architecture bureaus along with specialist local firms as required to deliver the required outcome. Based in Castlebar, the key strengths of the Taylor organisation are the quality, experience and flexibility of the project leaders along with the ability to access the leading consultants in ancillary disciplines. From the Architectural background comes a strong emphasis on smart design and a long tradition of collaboration with client teams to deliver.

Niall is a director of Taylor McCarney Architects having joined the practice in 1999 and is a director of the firm for more than 20 years. He has successfully completed significant projects in the education, civic, health and private sectors and leads the Taylor McCarney residential team. He has particular experience in tourism related projects, and masterplanning.
