When our architectural team first visited the site for The Shannon Rose Irish Pub & Restaurant, it was nothing more than an empty field with an idea attached to it. From those early beginnings, we took on the role of “quarterbacks” of the design process—coordinating every detail to turn vision into reality.

We had the privilege of working with a great client and a talented pub designer from Canada. Alongside our trusted mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers, we created a building that has stood the test of time. More than a decade later, Shannon Rose remains fresh, functional, and continues to thrive as a beloved destination.

I was reminded of this recently while enjoying dinner there with my wife. It’s always rewarding to look around a lively restaurant and remember that it all started with an empty field, good teamwork and great design.
