HLM Architects has appointed Kosta Kapetangiannis as our new studio director for the Dublin studio, spearheading our growth in the city and across the Republic of Ireland.

Bringing more than 24 years of experience in large commercial practices across Ireland delivering public and private sector projects, Kosta will oversee the daily operations and development of the team at our Dublin studio, collaborating with the Belfast studio, and leveraging contacts to forge new client relationships that will enhance the practice’s presence nationally.

Kosta said: "HLM Architects is renowned for its commitment to delivering places for people to live, work, play and contemplate. I am passionate to build further upon this by sharing my knowledge and best practices to help create buildings and places that are not merely exceptional to experience and explore, but also efficient in their utilisation of space, durable and cost-effective. I am a champion for adventure in design and I enjoy the challenge of shaping and constructing spaces in a way that is mindful of the needs of all who can benefit."

Kosta's appointment comes at an exciting time for Dublin’s architectural sector. The city has seen a significant boom in residential development over the past few years, driven by a shift towards high-density living and a concerted effort to address the housing crisis.

Kosta added: "Dublin has undergone a remarkable transformation, with both private and state organisations pushing for higher standards in housing, sustainability, and buildability. This progressive approach presents incredible opportunities for growth and innovation in the sector. It is a great privilege to be part of an industry that can make a significant difference, especially when the demand for thoughtful, high-density residential development is so high."
