Hello, I'm Colin, Design Director and Founder of ecoips. 

We believe every home should be accessible for all ages and abilities. 

Our focus is to provide design and project management services that bridge the gap between premium, inclusive design and seamless, assisted project management, 

ensuring your home and garden are really considered and designed to evolve with your families present and future needs. But why choose us?

We offer expertise in Universal Design: 

Creating spaces that are both stylish and accommodating.

Tailored Solutions: 

We specialise in designing and adapting contemporary homes for independent and semi-independent living.

End-to-End Project Services: 

Managing home adaptations and renovations that focus on quality of life, comfort, safety, greater independence and accessibility.

Helping you stay in the home you love 

with sensible, well-managed improvements.

As we get older, or if our mobility changes, our homes need to work a little differently. 

But "accessible" shouldn't mean "industrial." At ecoips, we provide a project-managed service for homeowners across Dublin.

Our range of services covers homes and gardens of Dalkey, Dun Laoghaire, Blackrock and Rathgar to the suburban homes and gardens of Castleknock, Malahide and Howth

For homeowners who want practical solutions that look and feel like part of the home.

We handle the technical details, the tradespeople, and the paperwork, so you can focus on enjoying your home in comfort.

A managed approach to project delivery

We act as your single point of contact: 

We bridge the gap between your healthcare needs and project execution. 

We don't just "add features"; we integrate them into the existing character of your home.

Subtle accessibility: 

We choose fixtures that offer support without looking like hospital equipment—think elegant brushed steel rails or non-slip tiling that looks like natural stone.

Managing the professionals: 

We coordinate with Occupational Therapists (OTs) to ensure the work is medically correct, and we manage the Designers, Engineers and Builders to ensure it's finished to a high standard.

Simple innovations for easier living

We focus on "invisible" help—practical technology and design that makes daily life smoother without being flashy or overly complex.

Interior comforts

Accessible wet rooms: 

Clean, modern walk-in showers that eliminate trip hazards while adding value to your property.

Accessible kitchens + utility spaces: 

Simple adjustments like pull-down shelving or height adjustable worktops that reduce the strain of reaching and lifting.

Smart, Simple Controls: 

User friendly heating and lighting systems that can be controlled by voice or a simple tablet—keeping your home warm and secure with zero fuss.

Garden spaces + Outdoor rooms

Level Thresholds: 

Creating a seamless, flat transition from your sunroom or kitchen to the patio, making the garden a safe part of your living space again.

Accessible Planting: 

Raised masonry beds that allow you to enjoy gardening at a comfortable height, finished in premium materials like resin-bound gravel that is easy on a wheelchair or walking frame.

Accessible vertical farming mini tower type aeroponics and hydroponic bench type applications 

Our straightforward Project Workflow

Our goal is to take the stress out of home modifications. We provide a "turnkey" solution where we do the heavy lifting.

Typical project phases - What we do -  How it benefits you

Phase 1 - Assessment 

Liaison with your OT or healthcare team - You get a home that is safe and fit for purpose.

Phase 2 - Design 

Clear plans and material choices - No surprises—you see exactly how it will look.

Phase 3 - Management 

Vetting and supervising specialist trades. - So you don't have to chase builders or manage schedules.

Phase 4 - Administration 

Managing Grant applications and Part M compliance - We help you secure available funding and meet all regulations. 

Real value, not just "high spec features"

Even for comfortable households, value for money is essential. We focus on what you might term "unostentatious sustainable luxury"

by specifying and selecting high-quality, utilising durable materials that last a lifetime.

Financial Support: 

We are experts in the Housing Adaptation Grant process. We can manage your application for up to €30,000 in funding, ensuring the project is as affordable as it is effective.

The real value we offer isn't just a new bathroom or a ramp; it's the ability to stay in your family home for the next twenty years with independence, dignity, and zero friction.
