Custom Build Home in Belfast, Antrim

“Look no further, these guys are the best! I simply love our house now that we have extended and refurbished it to designs by 9yards! From their first visit I knew we would get on well, with their friendly, knowledgeable approach, and their design ideas were brilliant, all at a very affordable price - they truly have changed the way our family live, with a large open-plan kitchen/dining/living area where the whole family can congregate. We also engaged them to look after the job on site which took away all of the building stress - thank you 9yards!”

“Finding Jane Burnside was akin to finding an oasis in the desert ! Finally here was an architect who not only listened to our requirements, but also delivered them in a workable and beautiful form. We had spent many hours looking at rural houses , concluding that a traditional retirement house or vernacular cottage was not for us. While we found it easy to say what we didn't want, we couldn't say what we did want. All we knew was that we wanted a complete change from the Victorian farmhouse we were to move out of. An abundance of natural light, no stairs, multipurpose space suitable to accommodate anywhere from 2 - 22 people ( growing grandchildren!) low maintainence grounds and above all pleasing to the eye were among our requirements, form and function was increasingly being uttered. We saw Jane's book and after reading it ,we were convinced that here was the answer to our dilemma . From our first meeting we were impressed with the quality of her work and professionalism . Guiding us away from unsuitable ideas and offering us much better alternatives Jane promptly produced 2 very different house layouts and our hardest decision was which one we liked best. Planning permission in our area is a nightmare and Jane has dealt with this in a very efficient no nonsense manner. In summing up I would recommend Jane Burnside Architects as an answer to anyone looking for a home that is not only tasteful and functional but also one that sets a standard for the future.”

“We planned a kitchen extension. Glenn's vision was beyond all our expectations and he created an amazing kitchen and living space with a separate utility and redesigned and landscaped our outdoor space. His service was prompt. He liaised well with our builder. Altogether a very professional job and we are delighted with the result! Thank you Glenn!”

“We engaged David for a refurbishment/extension project to our large Victorian home. David was able to turn the clients ideas into workable and practical design adding much along the way. His advocacy of a Contemporary Extension was proven with a resulting harmonious and much loved result. The new complementing the old house. David went the extra mile during design and construction to make sure it all came together. Working with an old house required accommodations with on site discoveries and a great result was achieved.”

“Having requirements to move to bigger premises we employed Slemish Design to carry out the design work for our new building which included offices, warehouse etc... They made the process very easy, understanding our needs and provided suitable designs. I would highly recommend Slemish design for any project a real pleasure to work with.”

“Tom's ability technically is only surpassed by his creative flair. He was able to bring to life my vision of a modern family home and at the same time teach me why simplicity in architectural design could not be improved on by fashion or 'stuff'. After 10 years of bringing up a family in our house, we still regularly comment on how much we love living there and still occasionally catch an angle or vista that somehow we missed before. You may have 'ideas' of what is right, my advice is to listen to Tom and you won't regret the outcome.”

“I can't recommend Nicola & Angus highly enough. They have a great sense of design & really listened to what we wanted, coming up with a fantastic proposal within our budget. We love the work they did on our kitchen, creating a contemporary space that links the home and garden, and giving us a space all the family can enjoy. They are so friendly, professional and easy to work with.”

He has an Inate sense of place in his work orienting his designs to their setting sensitivity and with respect and creativity . He assisted on the design of an extension to our home to replace an old conservatory which has transformed our use of our home -orienting it to the garden . His attention to detail , the timeliness of his response ,his honesty and problem solving skills all underpinned by his passion for good design made it a pleasure to work with him”

“I used Marcin Piotrowicz to design my single story extension, he is very reliable and was very punctual on all appointments, he's got great vision for structure and design and his knowledge in his field is very highly rated by myself. I would highly recommend him.”

“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.”
