What clients are saying about the Reconfigure Package:

  • Coffee station with espresso machine, grinder, kettle, and shelves with cups, teapots, and decorative items.

    Jerico + Gladys, Goatstown

    We worked with Rachel on the Reconfigure Package to help guide our renovation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment she stepped into our home, she really listened, taking the time to understand how we live day to day and noting our interests. She thoughtfully incorporated all of this into her drawings, considering not just how we use the space now, but how we might use it in the future.

    One of the standout features she designed was a coffee dock, which has since become the heart of our home.

    Her drawings were absolutely invaluable. They helped us clearly communicate with various tradespeople and ensured we avoided costly mistakes. We would have been quite lost without them.

    Highly recommend Rachel to anyone planning a renovation.

    Rachel, Dundrum

    We really enjoyed our experience working with Rachel on our residential project. She's a talented and personable architect and delivered on time and in line with our brief. Rachel is a pleasure to work with and really listened to our requirements and provided us with excellent drawings and 3D models which really helped us to decide on a design. Her pricing and packages are very transparent and fair and her communication skills are superb. Highly recommend working with her.

    Cian, Stillorgan

    Rachel was a pleasure to work with and brought a wealth of insight and creativity to the project. She took the time to really understand my ideas and translated them into thoughtful, well-considered designs that felt both practical and distinctive. The reconfigure package was particularly valuable, providing several options, each with its own unique character, and helping me to clearly visualise the potential of my home. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rachel to anyone considering works to their home.

  • Aoife, Dublin 8

    What an absolute pleasure working with Rachel on a refurbishment of my home. Rachel was referred to me by a friend who had a very positive experience (and their house looks fantastic). Rachel took the time to go through what I had in mind for the house (as in what I felt didn’t work well for me and I needed to change) and then present really clever ideas that will work in my terraced home. Rachel’s attention to detail, the gorgeous and clever architectural design ideas, communication and professionalism is what really stands out to me. I like how all costs and stages are clearly outlined, no surprises! I can also see that Rachel has a great eye for interior design and I look forward to the build and completion of the design I have chosen.

  • John, Celbridge

    We recently asked Rachel to help us with a redesign project for our home. The Plans she drew up for us have been the cornerstone of our home improvement project, which is still ongoing. Rachel was an absolute pleasure to deal with and handled our numerous changes of minds with utmost patience and professionalism.

  • Niamh, Crumlin

    I enjoyed working with Rachel - she understood my requirements and provided good insights to maximise my space. The packages are a great way to get expert advice tailored to your needs.

    Sarah, Donnybrook

    Working with Rachel has been so seamless and stress-free. She really takes the time to help you figure out your needs and she discusses the pro's and con's of different design and building options to you in a very rationale way, so you have all the information you need to make the best decision for you and your home.Having her drawings to give to the builder was a game-changer, as I knew exactly how to communicate with the contractors about what to build and how. It made me really confident I could oversee the building work once the contractors started, because we'd gone through the drawings she did in such detail... this meant I knew the whole vision for the property and practicalities of the work inside out.It's been such as great experience working with Rachel, and I'll definitely go back to her again in the future.

    Ciara, Lucan

    I worked with Rachel last year on reconfiguration options before renovating my home. It was one of the best things I did and really helped me to feel like I had considered all possible layouts to find what would work best. Rachel was excellent to work with and I was very happy with the standard of what she produced and the detail she went into. It also helped me to feel more confident when meeting with builders to agree the works. I would highly recommend Archaus.

What clients are saying about the Extension Package:

  • A modern open-concept kitchen and living space with a round dining table, a sofa, and a kitchen island with bar stools. There are built-in cabinets, a television, and decorative plants on shelves.

    Eileen, Ballinteer

    I engaged Archaus to provide a Small Extension Package for my home. Rachel called to my home and carefully listened to the brief. She gave great creative suggestions, most of which I would never have thought of. Rachel provided me with four different proposals, which were accompanied with detailed drawings etc., all of which were excellent. She talked through each one in a calm, efficient and professional manner. Rachel is a pleasure to deal with. A great cost effective service for anyone thinking of a home renovation.

  • Niamh + Eimear, Kilkenny

    We loved working with Rachel. From the start, the process was very clear and Rachel was really helpful in guiding us on which package would suit us best. During the design process, Rachel was diligent in making sure she understood our requirements and our goals for the space. It was fantastic to see her designs and the process of going through them was fun and has us very excited to begin work!

  • Laura + Patrick, Dublin 14

    I came across Rachel on Instagram and fell in love with her work. We were looking to work with someone on our extension plans that would deliver drawings and inspiration that was both functional and aesthetic. And she 100% delivered on that. She really listened to what we were looking for in our vision, as well as pulling together some great interior ideas which will inspire us as we get into the nitty gritty of the plans with a builder. She is so easy to work with and can't wait to bring the drawings into the real world early next year! Thanks so much Rachel, we really appreciate the expertise & knowledge you brought to our project and for being such a joy to work with on it!

  • Catriona + Shane, Dublin 11

    We would highly recommend Rachel after she completed an extension package for us. Rachael's ability to translate our ideas in to a design that looks fantastic and also functions perfectly for us as a young family was amazing. Communication was very clear and professional through out but also relaxed and fun. We really enjoyed working with Rachel and had an excellent experience for start to finish.

    Maria + Rob, Terenure

    From working with Rachel on our home renovation, we found that she really listened to and understood our preferences and requirements from the start, taking into account all the little nuances of our growing family both now and into the future.

    She presented us with three thoughtful, creative and practical plan proposals, talking us through the rationale behind each and really helping us to visualise what our new space might look like with her excellent 3D renders.

    Since then, Rachel has worked seamlessly with our builder and we’ve always found her to be very responsive to any of our questions.

    Rachel has been great to work with and we have already recommended her to multiple friends and family.

  • Brian + Meave, Glenageary

    Rachel helped us visualise a package of home improvements that will help us maximise the existing footprint of the house as well as extend in a small but meaningful way. Rachel is an excellent listener and thought through her plans based on what we asked for but also what we are like as a growing family. That made the difference!

What clients are saying about the 2 Hour Consultation:

  • A person is drawing or reviewing blueprints or architectural plans, holding a black pen over detailed floor plans on paper.

    Ian + Andrea, Drumcondra

    We had a great experience working with Rachel. We were only just coming into the house and beginning to explore what was possible. The session was really valuable in helping us shape our thinking. Over the two hours, she guided us through different ideas and perspectives we hadn’t fully considered, which gave us much more clarity about our options. Her input was thoughtful, practical, and creative, and it gave us a solid foundation to start in our new home.

    Lorraine, Terenure

    We engaged Rachel for a two-hour consultation and found it very beneficial. We were seeking the best way to optimise our kitchen and create a utility space, and it was helpful to hear her perspective; she came back with several options, and we have chosen one to proceed with. If you're unsure about what to do with your space, I highly recommend this service, as it helped us visualise its potential.

    We met Rachel at the Ideal Home Show and were very impressed. We subsequently went with the 2 hour consultation which really helped us with our design and was very worthwhile. Thanks again, would highly recommend!

  • Anne, Blackrock

    Anne, Blackrock

    We had the pleasure of working with Rachel for a 2 hour Design Consultation which helped with our design for a renovation. Rachel had lots of relevant and practical ideas that we hadn't considered and also gave us the confidence to do things a bit differently. It's amazing how much value a two hour session with someone so experienced can provide - we'd highly recommend!

  • Seán + Céilí, Dublin 7

    Rachel worked with us on a two hour consultation, where we showed her our house and talked her through what we would like. In the short time, she sketched rough drawings for many great ideas we hadn't even thought of, giving us a great starting point for what to do with our home.

    Highly recommended.

  • Sarah, Cabinteely

    I was delighted with the helpful advice and recommendations from Rachel at our sessions. She really understood what I was looking for and gave great advice and ideas to allow us to move forward with our project. Her helpful drawings and suggestions were great and really allowed me to visualise our plans. 

    Many thanks again. 

    Sarah

  • Lorraine, Waterford

    Rachel was very helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. In our 2 hour session she helped crystalise ideas and help us avoid expensive mistakes. She produced a detailed floorplan to help us visualise the changes,  we were making in real time. She also made lighting and paint recommendations to enhance the quality of light in our home. It was a very worth while experience and her knowledge and patience helped to ensure we are happy with how our home renovation turned out. 

    Our renovation has turned out great, and we are delighted with it. Thanks for your help Rachel.

  • Ann + Emmet, Co. Meath

    Rachel came to our house in Meath to discuss how we could use the space better and tackle the sound proofing issue we were experiencing with such an open plan house. Rachel was approachable and really easy to chat with, she has given us some great ideas that we would never have come up with ourselves and allowed us to see spaces in the house in a  different light.  From start to finish Archaus was a very professional architect firm to work with.

  • Ailish + Ignacio, Sandymount

    We recently worked with Rachel for a full kitchen redesign and the experience was fantastic. She came fully prepared, bringing fresh ideas and a real enthusiasm for the project. Her ability to help us visualize the space and optimize the layout was impressive, and she listened carefully to what we wanted.
    After the visit, she turned around the designs very quickly, providing several drawings with different alternatives to help us compare options. A truly positive experience — we’d highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and approachable architect!

  • Alice + Patrick, Co Meath

    We recently availed of Rachel's services to review internal layout plans and lighting for our self build. Rachel's insights have been invaluable to us finalising our interiors. We would highly recommend Archaus.

    The consultation with Rachel was excellent. She had so many great ideas of ways to easily improve our home and was very generous with her time. Would 100% recommend for any home update brainstorming.

  • Mary + Kevin, Blackrock

    Rachel was a pleasure to work with. Her warm, positive approach and practical guidance helped us create a calmer, more functional home office environment. She provided clear direction and thoughtful follow-up throughout, allowing us to work through improvements systematically and without feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommend.
