Every year, the Royal Institute of Architecture Ireland (RIAI), Simon Open Door campaign gives homeowners the chance to sit down with a Registered Architect for expert advice, while the donation goes directly to the Simon Communities of Ireland to support people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
