'Our true intent is all for your delight'

Act V, Scene 1 Midsummer Night's Dream

 Since its foundation in 1994, John Fleming Architects (JFA) has developed a diverse body of creative work.  This work includes private one-off residential, multi-unit residential, commercial, hospitality/leisure and retail projects, as well as much-needed student residences and many large scale master planning exercises. With the recent significant expansion of the Private Rented Sector (PRS) in Ireland, we at JFA have established the firm as a market leader and are proud to have several PRS schemes in progress. Within our portfolio of completed projects are commissions by private end users, property developers, state bodies and charities. JFA continues to enjoy the challenges that this wide variety of clients, each with very different briefs, aspirations, needs and budgets, has presented. We believe that the range and diversity of our work has made us stronger, better informed, more flexible, open-minded and creative in our approach to new projects. Our work has been rewarded with many architectural prizes and acknowledgements from our valued clients. 

We love nothing better than a new client, with a new site and set of particular requirements, that will give us the opportunity to ignite our natural enthusiasm for the art, the business and the production of good architecture.

And Cali & Laika, golden retrievers and regular visitors to the Dublin office, both inspire and amuse us while we work.

In over twenty years in business we have completed over 4000 houses and apartments, 1200 beds of student accommodation, and numerous hotels, offices, schools, shopping centres, motor showrooms, fit outs and conservation projects.

Ongoing projects include a 650 bedroom student residence in Dublin, a large hotel, several aparthotels, sheltered housing, large residential developments and a major extension to a prominent educational facility.

In 2010 we expanded our business into the UK and other markets, with the establishment of a joint venture in the manner of Architects Fleming Maguire (AFM), based in Camden, London. This further broadened our knowledge and expertise and has proved very successful with almost 1000 residential units completed in London, a number of high quality student residences in development stages and international commissions including a 19 storey residential tower in Georgia and a hotel in Newfoundland. In 2017 we began to wind down AFM, given the thriving construction industry in Dublin, and we finally closed the office in 2019. However the firm continues to benefit from our UK experience.

Our reputation has been established by a commitment to the collaborative aspects of creating architecture and by a strong focus on refining design ideas to arrive at a solution which is architecturally, socially and intellectually coherent.

We look forward to working with you.
