Architectural Portfolio

About me

My name is Janire Roldan and I am from Basque Country, Spain. When I was five, I moved to Valencia and now I am living in Dublin. Here, I have started a new life while continuing my career as an architect.

I have always been passionate about architecture, design and construction. When I was a child, I played with Lego blocks, creating houses and cities without letting the physical laws limit my imagination.

However, it was when I was travelling around Spain when I totally realized I wanted to study Architecture. I imagined myself contributing to the conservation and restoration of the buildings I was visiting. I truly wanted to be part of their history. It was the first time I seriously considered starting a career as an architect.

As I have lots of interests, I usually try to link different ideas from multiple areas to create something new and exciting. It is exactly what I do in every project I am involved in, either architectural or not. I listen to the client, understanding their needs and what is important for them. After doing so, I represent it into several drawings, from the idea to specific details. 

All the architectural projects presented in the portfolio are designs where I have been a very active member of the design team.
