Seamus Ryan Architects

Seamus was recommended to assist me when I was looking at Passivhaus construction for a new home in Mount Claremont. Seamus pulled together the design and my thoughts to build a fully insulated reverse brick double glazed house gaining a 9 star energy rating.I am thankful for Seamus' experience, patience and perseverance,observing and advising on details and managing issues during a difficult build. Seamus' approach is pleasant and efficient and mediates successfully.

We have worked with Seamus on several projects to date, our City Beach project was by far the most challenging; a battle axe block with a 4.5m fall & 7 adjoining neighbours. We provided a brief to accommodate our family over 3 levels, requesting a sustainable approach. Seamus created a design ensuring we had oceans views from the ground & first floor, ground floor views were an added bonus as we never expected to have them when purchasing the site. Council policy & neighbouring objections were a concern from an early stage, of which Seamus handled all negotiations, streamlining the process. Seamus provided detailed construction drawings, detailing the sustainable services & the complex construction of the concrete structure, under croft basement & finishing of the home in various high performing walls & glazing. Seamus & our builder worked extremely well together. We highly recommend Seamus Ryan Architects and look forward to working with them again in the future. Declan & Carley

Seamus has been great to work with from developing concepts through to the fine finishing details. Seamus brought us several different layouts and ideas, all of which exceeded our expectations. The designs all had a creative and architectural flair and were supported by dynamic design aspects e.g. pitched ceiling & ceiling features, highlight windows, interesting spaces & angles, all connecting to our external spaces. Working collaboratively, we iterated and evolved the design to achieve a beautiful end product. Seamus was open and transparent in helping us make material, space and budget trade-off decisions. Seamus’ input and advice has been invaluable over the course of the project. We would highly recommend Seamus.

Seamus was recommended by a good friend. From the get-go Seamus got us, making the whole process easy; a real collaboration.Over a short-time; Seamus helped us clarify in our minds what we really wanted from our renovation & addition. In doing so; any issues or problems were address with a clear solution. With that, Seamus was able to go do his magic, presenting an overall design solution to our detailed brief.All along the way, Seamus really listened to us, so it never felt like he was trying to get his design approved, it was exactly what we wanted. As a result, we ended up with a great plan that we loved, which married our traditional original brick & tile home, with an open plan contemporary light-filled addition.We would highly recommend Seamus & thanks again.

We engaged Seamus Ryan Architects to bring to life our vision for our new custom dream home in Applecross. An integral part of our design brief was focused on the sustainability and liveability of our home, without sacrificing on the architectural elements of the project. Seamus's credentials and experience designing cutting edge passively focused homes gave us the confidence he could deliver on our vision. Seamus has been diligent and dedicated throughout the process from initial meeting, design creation, design development and council approval. Importantly, Seamus has always been open to our feedback during the design stage and incorporated changes as requested with thoughtfulness and technical knowhow. We would highly recommend Seamus to anyone seeking a Perth Architect, who is highly focused on sustainability, luxury homes and has a dedicated passion for Architectural design.

Seamus’s design for our home was love at first sight, and it has been a pleasure working with Seamus from Day 1.He was able to very successfully navigate a tricky approvals process with admirable professionalism!He has an open and honest and collaborative approach in all aspects of his work.Clear communication, excellent attention to detail, and an easy going manner typify our interactions with him.

Seamus has been friendly, professional and patient though the whole design process. He has great ideas and a clear passion for architectural and interior design. He steered our plans for a two-story addition through the council process, deftly navigating the challenging planning policies in our area (a heritage conservation area in Subiaco).Seamus has gone above and beyond to work through our brief and concerns, patiently talking us through all parts of the design process, and always with a smile. We would without doubt recommend Seamus to anyone seeking a custom architectural design.

Seamus is an outstanding architect. What makes him exceptional is not just his talent for function and aesthetic, but his ability to listen and to work with his clients to co-create a solution. My wife and I engaged him to design a modern extension to our federation home in Perth. What he created was something we didn’t imagine was possible. I would encourage anyone seeking premium architecture services to engage Seamus.

Seamus worked with us to bring our luxurious, passive house design to life and we couldn’t be happier! A thoughtful Architectural design has brought out the best in our Nedlands block. Seamus incorporated as many aspects of sustainable healthy living as possible and we now have a beautiful home that is so comfortable to live in. We highly recommend Seamus Ryan Architects to anyone seeking a custom architectural home and we look forward to working with Seamus again.

We appointed Seamus after meeting a few Architects at our site. We felt Seamus was confident & could tackle our challenging block, in which we requested a contemporary infill extension between existing house and garage.Seamus takes a very practical approach to the design process, blending architectural features that usually exceed your expectations. He is a very good problem solver & his design solutions offer both function & great aesthetics. Seamus was also eager to ensure the extension was built to a very high energy efficient standard in which we achieved a 9.5 star rating. Our home received quite a lot of complementing comments from both family, friends & adjoining neighbours.We have since sold the home at a large attending auction early 2017, we have re-appointed Seamus for our current project; a custom renovation & addition to a heritage listed home in Subiaco, which is currently in Sketch Design.We enjoyed working with Seamus & would highly recommend Seamus.
