A red brick warehouse on its last legs. Transformed into a loft-style office space that people are still talking about, 14 years on.

"Robert helped us with the renovation of an old red brick warehouse building, transforming into a fantastic "loft style" office space. His help and experience was invaluable, all the way through the project (and beyond) and I honestly can't recommend him highly enough.

He was on "our side" from start to finish, acting as project manager and dealing with the contractors - and brought a wealth of experience to the design process that allowed our hopes and ideas to really come to life. We're so pleased with how the building turned out and still receive compliments on it to this day - even now, 14 years later.

Robert is a hugely talented and knowledgeable architect - and a great guy to boot. 100% recommend!"

This is the one most people can relate to.

A tired semi on the Ormeau Road, rooms that didn't talk to each other, a garage blocking all the evening light.

We demolished the garage, opened up the back, and turned a dark, disconnected house into exactly what a young Belfast family needed.

A disused farmstead on top of a drumlin, with views from Scrabo Tower to the Mournes and Strangford Lough stretching out below.

We kept the old stone outbuildings, worked with the land, and let the views drive every decision. The result is 4,500 sq ft of home that feels like it's always belonged here.

Kings Road is progressing well, with new timber sliding sash windows now installed and work underway to bring the house back together.

It's always satisfying to see a renovation reach the stage where the design intent starts to become visible and the character of the home begins to re-emerge.

Stay tuned.

When the view is this good, you design the whole house around it.

This Holywood Hills home sits above Strangford Lough with views stretching to Scotland on a clear day.

Living space upstairs, bedrooms below. Sometimes the best design decision is just turning a house upside down.

This Malone Road home had great bones. A beautiful symmetrical facade, mature gardens, generous proportions. But inside, it had lost its way.

We broke through walls, flooded it with light, and connected it properly to the garden for the first time. Now it's exactly what a family home on the outskirts of South Belfast should be.

This family came to us with a vision, to transform an old bungalow and make the most of those Strangford Lough views. They're now in their dream home.

"We meet Robert just over 2 years ago, with an idea to transform an old style bungalow into something modern that would maximise the views over Strangford Lough.

During the process it was obvious the architectural skills Robert and his team have, not just in design but in attention to detail and seeing the project to completion.
We have recently moved into our new home which is modern and our views over Strangford Lough are amazing.

Robert listened to us and designed a home that suited our needs.
Pleasure to work with and I would have no hesitation in recommending this exciting architectural practice.

Many thanks to Robert and his team."

A hallway that makes you want to see what's at the end of it.

This Helen's Bay renovation was all about flow, from the front door right through to a double-height kitchen flooded with natural light.

Sometimes the best extensions aren't about adding more space. They're about making the space you have finally work.

The view was always going to be the focal point of this home.

Large expanses of glazing were used to bring the coastline directly into the everyday living spaces, creating a constant connection to the water.

𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗲 | The original layout felt closed off, with small windows and awkward connections between spaces.

By opening the house up vertically and bringing light in from above, the main living area now feels brighter, calmer and far more connected to how the family actually lives day to day.
