Architects Give Their Time for Free

WEXFORD, Ireland - April 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Isabel Barros Architects are pleased to announce their participation once again in this year’s “Simon Open Door” initiative.

Each year, the initiative sees architects nationwide give up their time for free to offer hour-long consultations to members of the public in return for €50.

Anyone looking to build, renovate or extend their home or business may be interested in this initiative. Isabel Barros Architects will offer an hour long consultation in return for a donation of €50 to charity. All of the money raised goes towards the work of the Simon Communities of Ireland.

The Simon Communities of Ireland work with people who experience homelessness and housing exclusion in Ireland.

With almost €300,000 being raised for the charity over the years, the wonderful partnership between the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland and the Simon Communities of Ireland provides hundreds of consultations with a registered Architect every year.  

“This is an excellent initiative where anyone can get practical advice on a range of issues, while helping the homeless,” said Wexford based RIAI architect Isabel Barros. ”For us, Architects, it is a unique challenge but people always get amazed about how much can be done in one hour.”

You can sign up for an appointment with Isabel Barros Architects on either Saturday 11th May or Sunday 12th May, just log in at www.simonopendoor.ie.
