MOLA was awarded Certificates of Merit by the Irish Planning Institute in the 'Urban Design' and 'Planning Achievement' categories in 2002 for Carlow Town Master Plan and in 2005 for Killarney Urban Master Plan. Both of these projects incorporate sustainable transportation strategies that respect the environmental quality of urban environments and landscapes and deliver user efficiency.
In conceiving a future for the historic core of Carlow, a traffic management and pedestrianisation scheme was devised. Providing solutions to congestion and environmental degradation in Killarney town centre, called for the introduction of a system of edge of centre car-parks and bus loops, releasing surface car-parks for regeneration as mixed-use developments and public spaces.

Currently we are involved in a number of projects including the proposed Baldoyle Train Station, in north Co. Dublin and the Lesnaya Mixed-Use Development in Moscow which incorporates the integration of a tram roundabout into a 72,000 sq.m. building
