“I met Johann at the WICE Awards Judging day in 2017, where I was a judge for the category of Best Women Architect. Johann is an extremely talented and capable Architect with a warm and genuine personality. Her resilience and business acumen shines through, balanced with a deep interest in designing and achitecture to a very high standard. I have not a shred of doubt that the various awards and honours that Johann has received are completely deserved. It was an honour for me to judge her at the WICE Awards and to see her career and profile flourish.”

“I commissioned Manor Architects to lead the design team on delivery of this 3-storey mixed used development of 8 No. apartments with 2 No. retail units at ground level. The site had been vacant and a prominent gap site within the town of Magherafelt. As my first development project, I am extremely happy with the outcome. It was delivered on time, within budget and I am very pleased with the level of professionalism by the team and the workmanship shown. There is no question that the project has regenerated this part of the town and really brought life back to a gap site that had been vacant for many years. Manor Architects were easy to work with; They ensured everything ran smoothly and that the workmanship, costs and funding all ran in accordance with the contract and programme and I would recommend them without hesitation.”

“We have found Manor Architects excellent to work with, with planning achieved above and beyond what we could have hoped for, in what was undoubtedly a difficult planning application, when another architect had previously struggled. The project has been completed on time, to an extremely high standard. Manor Architects have always been readily available throughout the project to provide expert advice and any difficulties with the build have been resolved promptly and professionally.”

“Many congratulations on achieving what is a signpost planning success for both Dunluce Castle and for planning in Northern Ireland.”

Mr Ian Paisley MP

“I have dealt with Johann in her role as Director of Manor Architects on numerous occasions and have always found her to be highly knowledgeable and professional in her approach, and extremely assured whether she is advising politicians and government Ministers on planning policy, delivering multi-million-pound projects or progressing local planning applications. Johann’s business achievements are second-to-non, as can be seen in the number of awards she has secured. I firmly believe that Johann is an exceptional architect and business person, who has contributed a tremendous amount to the local construction sector in NI.”

Patsy McGlone MLA

“We have just recently been involved in building a new home for ourselves, which is just coming to completion. Obviously, this was a daunting, albeit exciting undertaking. Manor Architects were recommended to us to plan and manage this project. We have found them excellent to work with, with planning achieved above and beyond what we could have hoped for, in what was undoubtedly a difficult planning application, when another architect had previously struggled. The project has been completed on time, to an extremely high standard. Manor Architects have always been readily available throughout the project to provide expert advice and any difficulties with the build have been resolved promptly and professionally.”

“I first met Johann Muldoon two years ago, on a project for a visitor centre and supporting facilities at Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland. She was the lead consultant and project design architect for this iconic castle site, one of the most photographed and dramatic cliff-top locations in Ireland. I was impressed by her professionalism, design skill and flair as she drew together an architectural scheme which creatively responded to the sensitivities and potential of the site. We have now collaborated on a series of other projects where I have seen the same combination of sound professional judgment, design confidence and strong communications skills, working in a highly effective way for the benefit of clients and their development aspirations. I have no hesitation in commending Johann Muldoon, as she is a highly capable, and creative architect who is strongly committed to her profession and enthused by the vital contribution it brings to the environments in which we live.”

David McQuitty, BA (Hons) Dip LD, CMLI

“I have known Johann Muldoon both in a professional and personal capacity for over 10 years. As Planning Consultants we have worked collaboratively with her on a professional basis on various architectural and engineering projects throughout Northern Ireland, Johann's contribution in terms of outstanding people skills, unique architectural style and ability to deliver continually instils an unrivalled confidence within the team ensuring the task is completed to the highest possible standards and delivered on time. Johann is a highly qualified and experienced architect and an extremely inspirational lady. Her extensive portfolio of achievements is testimony to this and having won so many prestigious awards and commendations makes her stand out above all others in her professional and personal life. She is a highly driven. ambitious, hardworking and motivated person who inspires others. Her sheer commitment to the industry, energy and passion comes across with real zeal and it is such a pleasure to work with her in all aspects of the architectural and planning projects that we have been involved in. Her design flair is exceptional and as a recognised conservation architect she is highly regarded and respected in the safeguarding of our built heritage. Her ability and determination to deliver the required result is unstoppable, making her stand out from her peers.”

Ken Moore Dip TP IHBC

“I have worked and liaised with Johann Muldoon for the past 2-3 years whilst attempting to restore one of the few remaining John Nash houses in the UK. As one of the very few Specialist Conservation Architects in the UK, she has a recognised ability, skill and experience in this area which we found extremely valuable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Johann for any position and as someone who acts in an honest manner with the utmost integrity.”

Alan CrossLissan Rector

“I have known Johann Muldoon of Manor Architects for 10 years. As a former District Councillor with Magherafelt Council I had been involved with Johann in numerous planning matters and indeed more recently have sought her help and advice on particularly difficult planning questions I have found her to be professionally excellent in every regard. Her work has been outstanding and has been deservedly recognised as such throughout the country. Her integrity, in principles of design, operation in business and in all her dealings with others is exemplary.”

Kate Lagan

“I have known Johann Muldoon for more than 8 years in a personal and professional capacity. In both capacities she has always acted with the utmost integrity, honesty and straightforwardness. She speaks with authority, detailed knowledge and expertise as well as passion and a desire to do her utmost for her clients in gaining approvals on what can be very contentious sites. Johann was able to make history in a strategically significant application for me personally, seeing a planning application recommended for approval within 8 weeks. She has raised the bar for women in her profession and her CV and her array of awards speak for themselves.”

“Having developed a number of sites, mainly in more rural settings, this development really has regenerated and revitalised a site which did little for the town or the main vantage point from the Diamond. Obtaining planning permission was a challenge as 2 storey houses were being replaced by a 4-storey development, however the design team were able to overcome any hurdles and put forward a very convincing argument. The result is a project and building which myself and my wife are very happy with.”

Michael McAllisterThree Spires House, Magherafelt

“Johann and the Manor Architect team delivered an exceptional piece of work and brought to the table a creative, thoughtful, diligent and professional approach, which not only made our experience enjoyable, but the end product/deliverables were rich in content and creativity. Manor Architects also went beyond the initial brief and delivered a branding concept for the town in the form of a unique and striking sculptured signage, which fitted perfectly with our town heritage and essence. Without Manor Architects, it is safe to say that we would certainly not have progressed our enthusiasm for our town regeneration to where we are at present. We welcome and anticipate future work with Manor Architects.”

Gary BurnsBurns & Co

“In my role as Chief Executive of Workspace Ltd, a Social Enterprise involved in the regeneration of the Magherafelt area, I have undertaken a number of developments and projects in association with Manor Architects. It is in this capacity that I have worked closely with Johann Muldoon over the past number of years. Through Manor Architects, Johann has been involved in a number of these projects ranging from small refurbishment projects to the more major development of both business units and housing. Johann's knowledge and experience have been key elements in advancing and guiding us through these various projects and her enthusiasm and clarity of vision has ensured that these projects have meet the requirements that we as her client hoped to achieve. I have always found Johann to be a most capable and committed individual who strives for excellence in the projects she works on together with ensuring complete satisfaction on the part of the client.”

Brian MurraryWorkspace

“Johann began working on my behalf and for four years she fought against great adversity and challenges from all fronts to secure a landmark result. Only for her unbelievable commitment, resilience and dedicated professionalism, over a four-year period, we would have never gained this outcome.”

“Manor Architects were commissioned by the Select Vestry of St. Tide's Parish Church, Ballyscullion, Bellaghy to provide professional services in connection with the conservation and repair of our 'Grade B listed' church building. Johann Muldoon provided the key role in the delivery of the project, working closely at all times with the Select Vestry and going the extra mile to meet the exacting requirements of the Vestry and our co-founder, the Heritage Lottery Fund. Johann is passionate about conservation work and will go over and above the expected level of service to reach a successful outcome. Her dedication, commitment and enthusiasm has been appreciated by all members of the Select Vestry and was instrumental in delivering the successful project we are immensely proud of.”
