About
What about us? In a nutshell…O Donnell O Neill Design is a dynamic and creative Interior Architecture and Design Studio formed by Graham O’ Donnell and Ann-Marie O’Neill. We specialise in experiential and atmospheric Interior Design Solutions for the Hospitality Industry.
For over 15 years we have been working diligently and passionately with our team of talented Interior Architects, Designers and Creative’s to produce the most exciting and innovative Hotel, Bar, Restaurant, Club and Retail Designs. These Designs have not only been hugely popular and commercially successful but importantly have been critically influential in benchmarking the highest standards of design for the social scene.
We have a reputation for listening to our Clients. In order to create the most appropriate design solutions we must get inside our clients heads and ensure that we carefully tease out their design brief and their aspirations for their premises.
Our Head Office and Creative Design Studios are based in Dublin. From this Mothership Graham and Ann-Marie push the boundaries of design and creativity every day and strive to create concepts that are unique and break the mould.
The Designers in our Belfast Studios are headed by Gordon Devenney. Gordon is our Design Associate, our friend (and our sometimes Food & Beverage Connoisseur and Critic) and he shares our vision and passion to be different. This satellite hub in Belfast allows us to deliver an attentive service and creative design solutions to our Northern Ireland and mainland UK Clients.
Design matters to us. It drives us and inspires us every day to ensure we not only create but differentiate our ideas and concepts from others.
We want to inspire the best Designers to work with us and we want the most entrepreneurial operators to reach out to us. In creating designs for our Clients we realise and appreciate that we are investing in their businesses and impacting on their success.
