Featured Reviews for Architects in Belfast, Antrim

Reality Architects . Marc Ballard
Architects in Belfast, Antrim
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 August 2026
“Thank you so much Marc! Our first ever home project and we were very thankful for an experienced architect to manage us through the process – Our project was to replace an old uPVC conservatory and integrate the space into the house, changing roof design and materials and adding roof windows. We were not completely clear on the design at the outset and did make some changes along the way, but with Marc’s help the final project has surpassed our expectations – We are very happy customers and more than happy to recommend Marc’s services.”

“Will was awesome throughout our whole project (residential refurbishment). He absolutely nailed our brief and found clever ways to deliver as much as possible within our small budget. Stresses were minimised, issues dealt with and communication was clear throughout. Couldnt recommend Will more.”
Des Ewing Residential Architects
Architects in Belfast, Antrim
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 January 2020
“I would highly recommend Des Ewing Residential Architects. Having been impressed by his range of impressive domestic builds, we approached Des Ewing to design our forever home (which we are now in the final stages of completing). After our initial meeting, Des took us to see some of his previous projects which greatly helped us in our house style choices. We both had very different opinions as to the style of house we would like. Des managed to merge classic and contemporary styles seamlessly, satisfying both our requirements. From first contact to final planning stage, Des was extremely helpful and always made himself or a member of his hardworking team available to us. His calm demeanor helped us to enjoy what can be a stressful process. His working knowledge of all aspects of the build process impressed us, as did his attention to detail in the plans. It was a pleasure to work with Des. I look forward to completing our 'Des Ewing' house.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Belfast architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Belfast can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Belfast during initial consultations.
