Niall Dempsey

Spear’s Review

Established in 1967, Foster + Partners is driven by founder Norman Foster’s philosophy that the ‘quality of our surroundings affects the quality of our lives’.

Niall Dempsey, a senior partner and architect at the firm, carries Foster’s statement into all of his work. After joining the firm in 2007, he has worked on commercial and residential projects across the world, mainly dealing with UHNW families and luxury property developers. From Miami to Argentina, his commissions are marked by an attention to detail that combines modern architecture with timeless simplicity.

Dempsey’s design of a villa in Turkey made headlines for its uniquely shaped roof and expansive windows overlooking the ocean. Honouring the natural environment in which the house is encased, the project reflects both Dempsey’s and the company’s commitment to innovate and build sustainably.
