ÀRAS; (Irish) - meaning place

We provide a range of services to support the management of change to historically sensitive places, through understanding what makes a place special, whether listed or unlisted, applying specialist skills in research, analysis and management of the historic environment, including buildings, designed landscapes and places. Our approach is client-centred and each project, no matter how simple or complex, will be tailored to the client’s specific needs and budget.
