About the speaker:
With a career spanning 25 years, Feile Butler has worked with architectural firms in London, Australia, New Zealand, Dublin and Sligo. In 2009, she founded her own practice, Roots Architecture, in the north west of Ireland. An established expert in earthen construction, both new, in the form of cob building, and old, in the oversight of repairs to mudwall, earth-bonded stone, and sod construction, she has strong connections with heritage networks throughout Ireland and around the world.
Sustainability is at the core of her work, whether using natural materials for new-build projects or upgrading existing buildings to suit modern living. She has a particular soft spot for the humble cottage.

About SPAB Ireland
SPAB Ireland was established in 2017 as the inaugural Irish branch of the SPAB. Following the return of several recent Irish SPAB Fellows and Scholars to live and work in Ireland, the lack of an SPAB presence has been acutely felt. After a successful open meeting in February 2017, we have established a committee and have started planning how we will bring the SPAB philosophy and ethos to Ireland.
