TWO Dublin architectural firms, Cantrell Joyce and David Crowley, are to merge. The new company will be called Cantrell & Crowley Architects and Interior Designers.

Cantrell Joyce, which was established in 1978, specialises in the commercial, industrial and residential sectors. David Crowley Architects was established in 1976 and operates in the hotel, restaurant and leisure sectors.

The first project the two firms will work on together is an extension to Davy Byrnes pub on Duke Street in Dublin. A spokesman for the companies said no jobs would be lost as a result of the merger.
