Established in 2013, HOME* architecture is a dynamic architecture studio with a passion to see client dreams realised in innovative yet cost effective ways.

 

We have over 15 years experience working as part of a reputable architect practice designing and realising beautiful one-off homes in urban and rural contexts, residential extensions and renovations, through to multi-million pound commercial building contracts with a full consultant lead design team.

We love to design energy efficient home solutions and in addition to more traditional approaches and have experience in 'Zero Carbon' and 'no central heating' home design, utilising Passive House principles. We have designed a completely ‘off-grid’ eco-home and worked with a wide range of building methods from straw-bale construction to insulated concrete formwork (ICF), in addition to more traditional masonry and timber frame methods.

HOME* architecture is based near Templepatrick, in Parkgate, Ballyclare, County Antrim. We work in Belfast, across Northern Ireland and beyond.
