Business Details
Residential Architects for Home Extensions & New Builds
With over 22 years of experience as a practising architect, I specialise in creating tailored architectural solutions for residential extensions, renovations, and new builds across Northern Ireland. My approach combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of homeowners' needs, ensuring designs that maximise space, light, and functionality while aligning with modern living requirements. Having personally navigated the challenges of expanding family homes, I prioritise clear communication, transparency, and stress-free project management from initial concept to completion.

My qualifications include membership with the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Architects Registration Board, alongside a proven track record in delivering projects ranging from single-storey extensions to full-scale renovations. By integrating innovative tools like 3D virtual reality technology, I enable clients to visualise their projects before construction begins, ensuring informed decision-making and exceptional results.
