Donncha O’Shea is a Partner at Gustafson Porter + Bowman, leading several project teams and championing sustainability and technology in the running of the London-based office.

His completed projects with the practice include London’s recently opened Chelsea Barracks, Curzon Street, Rathbone Square and New Ludgate. He is currently leading teams on projects including the UK National Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre, London, the iconic Space House, as well as a number of projects in Ireland, including Google’s Boland’s Quay.

Donncha regularly takes part in design juries and panels and has lectured at The Bartlett and at Greenwich University in London. He studied History of Art & Architecture at Trinity College Dublin, and Architecture at DIT Bolton Street, Dublin, before then working at practices in both Dublin and London. Donncha joined Gustafson Porter + Bowman in 2008, becoming a Partner in 2016.
