Dublin based Sheehan & Barry Architects, a distinguished RIAI Grade 1 Conservation Practice, entrusted our design agency with the task of revitalising their brand identity. With over 35 years of excellence in architectural services, historic building conservation, and interior design, Sheehan & Barry sought a cohesive brand image that would reflect their innovative spirit, modern approach, and commitment to shaping a sustainable and beautiful world.
Our design approach aimed to create a brand identity that harmoniously unites Sheehan & Barry's diverse offerings under a singular, visually compelling narrative. At the heart of this concept is the line-work logo marque, an emblem inspired by architectural drafts and plan drawings. This marque serves as a symbolic representation of the firm's multifaceted expertise, encapsulating Architecture, Conservation, and Interior Design within its core. The line-work logo conveys a sense of simplicity, clarity, and modernity. It's a visual embodiment of the firm's commitment to delivering quality-driven, bespoke design solutions that captivate and inspire.
Through an immersive collaborative process with the architects themselves, we gleaned insights into their vision, aspirations, and the emotions they wished to evoke through their brand. Armed with this understanding, we carefully curated a visual and narrative identity that seamlessly integrated the firm's rich history and commitment to excellence. Our team explored a myriad of design elements, from colour palettes and typography to imagery and messaging, ensuring each component contributed harmoniously to the overall brand narrative. The result is a bespoke brand world for Sheehan & Barry Architects, a visual and conceptual identity that not only reflects their architectural prowess but also communicates a story that resonates with their clients.
