Luke Matone Architect is an emerging architectural practice based in Ventry, County Kerry, Ireland. Founded in 2024 by Luke Matone, a registered architect and member of the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI), the practice specialises in thoughtful, practical design with a focus on renovations, extensions, and bespoke new-build projects.
With over a decade of international experience in award-winning architectural practices in the UK and Switzerland, Luke brings a design-led approach grounded in sustainability, contextual sensitivity, and collaboration. Luke is passionate about creating unique, site-specific spaces that respond thoughtfully to rural Ireland’s rich cultural and environmental context. Drawing inspiration from vernacular typologies and construction techniques, each project is an opportunity to bring delight to everyday life, blending contemporary design with local materials and craftsmanship.
