THE EXPANDING BOX

The practice has developed into a vastly reputable practice having won eight Irish architectural awards since its conception. Box has achieved its notoriety mostly with residential projects; however, a shift has occurred for the practice with the procurement of larger scale projects including public buildings, community centres, crèches, corner site developments, exclusive one-off houses and an industrial unit which was selected for the 2003 RIAI Awards. The practice also undertakes high density projects which are supported by a sustainable philosophy. Quality rather than rapid expansion has remained the focus of the practice in order to retain sustainability which has now been genuinely confirmed.

With a hands-on approach using detailed models, technical expertise and creative execution in the presentation and design medium, Box Architecture reflects an ethos of the highest principle. The aim of the practice is to be creative with simple technologies to achieve inspirational aesthetics in the built form and this is accomplished through the experience and knowledge of the director/architect Gary Mongey.
