Opening the door for charity
SOME 35 Munster architects are among the dozens of Irish designers giving freely of their time next month, on behalf of homeless association Simon.
May 10 and 11 sees the 10th anniversary of the Simon Open Door project, where — for a €50 donation — members of the public get an hour consultation with an RIAI architect to discuss new builds, extensions, renovations, interior changes, and energy efficiency improvements. To date, the annual event has raised €350,000 for the Simon Community — the price of a good house. Simon assists more than 5,000 people annually, through its eight communities.
