Originally from Dublin and having previously worked in Berlin, Fíona Canavan is an architect based in Dundee.
She moved here in 2017, initially working for a local practice before setting up as freelance. Fíona carries out both architecture and design projects for individual clients, as well as providing architectural services for other practices.
She enjoys the variety of design work that being an architect brings, whether it is forming a small dormer in a clients home or studying and examining urban realm to design new public space. In all design work, she explores the relations between the individual and the space they inhabit in order for users to form deeper connections to these spaces, through identity and delight.
In addition to working on a number of domestic projects locally, she has worked collaborating with other Dundee based designers. As a solo freelancer, the collaborative nature of a design project can be the most exciting part, whether it is working with engineers, landscape architects, artists or fabricators.
Fíona is also passionate about bringing architecture and the built environment to a wider audience, particularly in Dundee, which has a rich city fabric and a built environment with a strong identity.
