Basement Conversion Professionals in Newtownards, Down

“We enlisted Marc Ballard’s help to extend our old stone home in South Belfast. It wasn’t the easiest of briefs as we also needed to extend our home to accommodate a disabled parent. Marc is a fabulous architect and the end result for us is a truly beautiful home with the most incredible feeling of space. Right from taking our brief and creating a beautiful home to managing the builders and every aspect of the build he has been brilliant. He’s very calm and truly listens to your brief and what you need and his skill as an architect is clear to see in the design work which has led to a stunning home. Working with an architect like Marc has given us a build that has the level of ‘detail’ and things we just wouldn’t have been able to do such as curved walls, bringing in different levels of light and creating different heights and making the home flow for our space but also suiting a disabled person. The build wasn’t straightforward also due to ground levels but working with Marc seriously reduced our stress levels throughout the whole process and we are truly delighted and loving living in our new ‘space’.”

“We used Thornton Architecture Studio through a number of recommendations. From start to finish ,of our Garage/Home office extension ,we felt totally confident and certain that we had made the right choice with TAS. The services, advice and work provided were excellent. William, our Architect was flexible, extremely professional and saved us a great deal of money by keeping our costs down and our contractors in check. We felt that we had a working relationship with the Studio and that Mr Thornton treated the project as his own. The architect had fresh ideas while staying true to the features of our period property. We have recommended others to use his services and they have been equally pleased.”

“Glen worked on plans for our house extension. He took the time to understand what our vision and current and future expectations of the house and the extension. Overall I would say he delivered and exceeded our expectations. Glen worked tirelessly on the designs and kept the project moving right through to planning permission stage. We were also pleased and reassured with the range of contacts for different aspects of the projects that he was able to provide. Am very much looking forward to seeing Glen's designs come to fruition.”

“We have worked with Moore and Joyce on two domestic extensions/renovations over the past 20 years. We found William Moore to be positively challenging and creative. He supported us in a collaborative and respectful manner in which his expertise and skill melded with our ideas and taste. We have recommended Moore and Joyce to many friends all of whom have had the same positive experience. We would have no hesitation in recommending Moore and Joyce to others.”

“We employed Green Architecture to design and draw up plans for a kitchen extension. This was done efficiently to my specifications, with creativity and imagination, just as we wanted. Anticipated costs were made known to us at initial consultation stage, and other aspects of the service were clearly identified. The service provided was cost effective and timely. I highly recommend Alan and his service.”

“Great attention to detail not only in terms of the actual build and design but in terms of the interior finishes. They were on-site throughout the build making sure everything was done to programme. They were always available and never hid away from taking difficult decisions.”
