Niamh Butler is an architectural designer, artist & researcher.

After graduating from the University of Plymouth with a Masters in Architecture she designed beautiful award-winning family homes with Brennan Furlong Architects in Dublin.  

Having witnessed a worsening housing crisis living and working in architecture in the UK and Ireland she discovered a calling to direct her skills towards working on solutions to this that can be implemented by citizens, which led to the creation of the Atlas of Ownership.

Investigative & experiential research, social justice, art, travel, the human experience, surf culture, and hands on exploration of materials are strong influences in Niamh’s emerging design philosophy around how we relate to the places that we live.

In 2024 she returned to her hometown after living in Portugal and a short stint in Sydney, with an artist residency with Luan Gallery.
