DELIVERING IMPACT - Creating Innovative and Inspiring Spaces
Welcome to Reality Architects, a contemporary architectural firm based in Holywood, just outside Belfast, Northern Ireland. Established in 2000, we have built a reputation for delivering high-quality design with care and sensitivity to the character of the architecture and surrounding environment. Our founder, Marc Ballard, leads a team of skilled professionals who specialise in contemporary domestic architecture and have completed a wide range of projects, from new homes and house extensions to whole house refurbishments.
At Reality Architects, we believe in providing a professional service that is tailored to each client's unique needs and vision. We have the ability to handle projects of all sizes and are committed to making an imaginative and innovative design response to every brief. Our approach is collaborative, and we work closely with our clients to ensure that their goals are met and surpassed.
Our Services
We have completed numerous New Builds, House Extensions and House Conversions in Belfast and Counties Down and Antrim. Every project is different, and we take pride in investigating all options until we find the perfect solution for our clients. We believe that visualisation is key, and all designs are fully illustrated with computer visuals in conjunction with a budget cost plan to ensure that our clients are making the right decision for their home.
When it comes to New Builds, we work with our clients to create a home that is tailored to their lifestyle and needs. We take care to consider the site, orientation, and the surrounding environment to create a home that is both beautiful and functional.
House Extensions are a great way to add space and value to your home. At Reality Architects, we work with our clients to create an extension that seamlessly integrates with the existing architecture and enhances the overall design. We take care to consider how the extension will be used and how it will impact the flow of the home.
House Conversions are a great way to maximise the potential of an existing building. At Reality Architects, we work with our clients to convert existing buildings into modern, functional spaces that meet their needs. We take care to consider the unique characteristics of each building and work to preserve and enhance the building's original features.
