MTJA was established in 2012 and has since evolved into a vibrant architectural practice serving clients across Ireland and the UK. We offer a comprehensive range of Architectural services, including concept design, planning, building control, tender and on-site certification. Our expertise extends to low-energy, sustainable design and innovative construction methods, such as cross-laminated timber.
Our practice consists of two full-time architects who collaborate on every project, ensuring a dynamic exchange of ideas and a seamless design process. We believe that every project is unique and requires a creative solution that emphasises the relationship between people and place. Our designs are bespoke, crafted around the occupants, their lifestyle and the landscape they inhabit.
We are passionate about creating buildings that enrich and inspire, with a focus on light-filled spaces, beautiful craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. Whether working on house extensions, bespoke homes, conversions, or office/shop fit-outs, our collaborative approach allows us to align your vision with your budget.
If you have a project you’d like to discuss, please contact us to see how we can bring your vision to life.
Meet the Architects
Our two qualified architects, Micah Jones and Adrian McCann, first crossed paths in 2004 while studying Architecture at university. After qualification, they went their separate ways, each gaining valuable experience in different practices. In 2012, Micah set up the practice and following his time in various architectural firms, Adrian joined the team, contributing his keen eye for detail and expertise in technical design. Their reunion not only strengthened the practice but also enriched the collaborative spirit that defines their work.
Micah Jones - Founder & Architect
Micah Jones graduated from the University of Ulster in Belfast and later became an ARB registered Architect in 2011. Before founding the practice in 2012 Micah gained valuable experience working with several renowned firms both in Northern Ireland and abroad, including the award-winning Twenty Two Over Seven and Dok Architecten in the Netherlands.
Micah is a chartered member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Royal Society of Ulster Architects (RSUA). His commitment to sustainable design is reflected in his qualification as a Passive House designer, further enhancing his expertise in low-energy building.
Adrian McCann - Architect
Adrian studied Architecture at the University of Ulster and worked in several architectural practices in Northern Ireland, gaining a wealth of experience across various project types. He joined the practice in 2016 and shortly after became an ARB registered Architect. Adrian brings a strong technical expertise and a deep commitment to quality design to the team. His passion for thoughtful, sustainable design drives his work, ensuring each project is meticulously crafted to meet the needs of its occupants.
Elaine Jones - Practice Manager
Elaine joined the practice in a part time capacity in 2018 to ensure the smooth running of the office on a day to day basis.
