Three steps to a better layout.

You don't need to start from scratch. Sometimes a few smart changes can transform how a house feels and functions.

01 / GET IN TOUCH

Send me your plans

Tell me a little about your new build, renovation or extension, and share your existing drawings.

02 / LET'S TALK

Tell me how you live

We'll have a 15-minute call, supported by a short questionnaire, to understand your household and priorities.

03 / GET YOUR REVIEW

See the possibilities

I'll return hand-marked drawings and practical layout suggestions within one week of receiving everything needed.

What I look for

It's the little details that make a home feel right.

Beautiful drawings don't always show how you'll use a room every day. I look at the spaces through the eyes of someone who has designed homes for 27 years.

  • Room sizes, proportions and furniture placement
  • Kitchen layout, storage and everyday flow
  • Door positions, circulation and wasted space
  • How spaces work for children, guests and changing needs
  • Opportunities to make your layout more practical
  • Thoughtful recommendations you can discuss with your architect
A second perspective
“Will this house really work for the people who are going to live in it?”

That's the question behind every review.

Your review includes annotated plans and, where helpful, suggested room reconfigurations, furniture layouts and kitchen layout recommendations. It is not a full architectural or kitchen-design drawing package.
Straightforward pricing

One thoughtful review.
One clear price.

Meet your reviewer

Hi, I'm Ciara.

I've worked in interior design for 27 years, helping people create homes that feel right for their lives. Through Drennan Interiors, which I run with my sister Gemma, I've seen how even small layout decisions can make a huge difference.

Review My Plans is a focused way to bring that experience to your project, wherever you are in Ireland. I'll give your drawings a fresh, practical look and share the changes I believe are worth considering before you build.

Personal advice. No generic template. Just your home, carefully considered.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need to have an architect already?

This service is designed for people who already have house plans to review. I offer interior layout feedback, not architectural design or planning applications.

Will you change my architect's drawings?

I'll annotate your plans by hand and may sketch suggested reconfigurations. Your architect or relevant qualified professional should assess and incorporate any agreed changes into the official drawings.

Can your drawings be used by a builder?

No. My mark-ups are design suggestions only, not construction drawings. They must be reviewed and, where appropriate, translated into construction documents by your architect or engineer before any work is carried out.

Do you check planning or building regulations?

No. The review does not include structural, engineering, planning or building-regulations compliance checks.

What if my house is larger than 300 m² or commercial?

Please get in touch with the plans and project details, and I'll provide a separate quote.

How soon will I receive my review?

The target is within one week after I've received your plans, questionnaire and completed our call. If you have a deadline, mention it in your enquiry.
