Happy Halloween

October 30, 2026

Happy Halloween from all of us at McKevitt King Architects! This spooky season, we’re celebrating buildings with character - even when that character lives in the attic and only comes out after midnight. From creaking floorboards to doors that open by themselves, a haunted house certainly keeps an architect busy. Although “a cold presence in the hallway” usually means someone needs to look at the insulation.

Whether you’re carving pumpkins or admiring Drogheda’s wonderfully atmospheric streets, we hope your Halloween is full of treats and just the right amount of fright. Our advice for any visiting vampires? Avoid open - plan layouts: far too much natural light. And if you’re planning a haunted extension, do give us a call -we’re excellent at making room for a growing household, including members who’ve been dead for centuries.
