Gallæry is a versatile architectural company founded in 2024 by Paul Gallagher, an architectural student with high proficiencies in the realm of architecture. This company works from the idea that great design focuses on being social, adaptable and sustainable. Each minute detail must be designed from the perspective of its inhabitants to create a stimulating spatial environment.
Paul is a dedicated future architect whose experience professionally and academically has provided him with impressive design capabilities along with an aptitude for managing complex tasks and delivering high quality results independently.
DESIGN
Our goal as a company is to capture your vision and make it a reality, using our skills we work intensively to fully realise the ambitions of our clients. Our philosophy for design is based on the interaction between a space and its user; what impact they have on each other and how we as designers can strengthen and enhance this relationship.
We achieve this through a thoughtful design process that begins from the first sketch. During this process we pay special attention on our relationship with the client as the design develops. At the end, we aim to produce a design of distinctive character which both upholds and amplifies the identity of the client.
The sample project displayed was a winning tender design for a primary school in Quito, Ecuador. This design was completed by Paul Gallagher during his internship with AHH (Architectuurstudio Herman Hertzberger) and focused on developing innovative learning spaces within a typology that acts like a miniature city. These drawings were achieved in collaboration with the AHH team.
MODEL
We believe that physical models are a valuable asset for effectively communicating concepts, materials, and demonstrating spatial composition. We are passionate about creating high-quality architectural models that serve your specific purpose, whether it’s a simple sketch model or a fully detailed presentation model. We approach each brief in a way that is unique and tailored to your needs.

RENDER
Using the latest technologies, we deliver compelling architectural visualizations to help render our clients vision. We aim to capture a design’s aesthetic appeal while paying close attention to technical details in order to produce an aesthetic, yet accurate portrayal. We are thus capable of providing high quality 3-D images of the design before construction has even started.

We are able to authentically depict a site’s context, landscape and its inhabitants. This presents a sense of scale and spatial quality allowing our client to fully envision how their design both looks and feels. Furniture, colour, vegetation and other aesthetics can be changed and altered at any stage throughout the process, a flexibility that’s essential during the design process.

scheme
Schematic deliberation is a very important aspect of design as one begins to try and describe the architectural and tectonic elements of a project. Using diagrammatic drawings can be a hugely helpful asset to any design process. With our skill-set and large experience in this area, we can transform sketch-design into successful and effective diagrams that clearly depict our client’s intentions.

Schematic drawings are essential for communicating design intentions, as they clearly illustrate material, colour, and construction details and more. These drawings enable clients to make informed decisions quickly and confidently, helping to resolve concerns and streamline the design process. By offering tangible references, schematics foster collaboration and ensure that the final outcome aligns with the original vision.
DRAWING
We utilize the most up to date BIM software to deliver high quality drawings and models within a short turnaround time frame. These drawings can be tailored to accommodate our clients preferences on presentation. Depending on the purpose of the drawing, our product can range from an aesthetic representation to a highly detailed and refined construction drawing.
