Like Architects

Like Architects is a respected architecture practice that has been delivering high-quality buildings and spaces for our clients since 2011. Our story began during the last recession, when our founders Michael Martin and Ciaran Deazley recognized an opportunity to transform failed residential assets into viable planning approvals, re-shaping derelict portions of Belfast city centre. Since then, we have grown to become a renowned practice, with a reputation for delivering projects that add value for our clients.

Our Philosophy

At Like Architects, we believe that each project should belong to its place and time, tread lightly on the environment, and inspire its users. We strive to articulate these core values in all our work, from the earliest concept stages to the final completion of the project. We take a rigorous and analytical approach to function and planning, while ensuring a refined approach in the detail. Our collaborative approach with clients ensures that our schemes are tailored to meet their specific needs, resulting in a diverse portfolio of projects that showcase our commitment to quality design.
