Grafton Architects office was found in 1978, naming after Grafton Street in Dublin. The space as a democratic place that can be freely designed for unforeseen uses is a core idea in the work of Grafton Architects, who have made a name for themselves with university and educational buildings, among other things. In 2018 Grafton Architects curated the Venice Biennale under the motto 'Freespace'. In October 2019, the Royal Institute of British Architects announced that it would be awarding the RIBA Gold Medal, the highest British award for architecture, to the Dublin-based architecture firm in 2020.
