Our projects span all building typologies, commercial, residential, pharmaceutical, education and retail.

They cover all stages from master planning and concept design to interior design and certification with regulatory compliance. We are additionally experienced in the design of high-rise buildings, having completed the tallest building in Ireland, the Elysian Tower in Cork (70m), a recently completed high rise office tower in Jinan (96m), and designed a twin towers project in Dalian (m).

Wilson Architecture boasts a diverse range of projects which have been recognised for our design excellence. We had a double win with Penrose Dock for “Building of the Year” and the Large Office category with Penrose Dock in The Building and Architect of the Year Awards , the RIAI recognised us in with the award for innovation for the façade of Cork district courthouse as well as being highly commended in the RIAI awards for the extension to Davis College Mallow.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) – Wilson Architecture have been involved in 3-D modelling of complex buildings since and have subsequently progressed to use the full BIM software packages.

We recently received an industry award as part of the team which completed the first BIM to FM project in Ireland. Sustainability – We have established a reputation for devising truly sustainable solutions across a broad spectrum of building typologies. Adopting a holistic approach, we believe that the basis of sustainable design is an understanding of every component that will deliver a healthy and enduring building, a place in which people will feel comfortable.

We have in-house expertise in major building certification systems such as BREEAM and LEED, who input into all design stages of the project. We have recently obtained gold LEED certification for a large multi-storey office building in Cork City.
