Reality Architects are based in Holywood, outside Belfast in Northern Ireland. Established in 2000 by Marc Ballard the practice specialises in contemporary domestic architecture and has completed a wide range of projects including new homes, house extensions and whole house refurbishments. We have the ability to handle projects of all sizes and to make an imaginative and innovative design response to every brief. We have completed numerous New Builds, House Extensions and House Conversions in Belfast and Counties Down and Antrim.
Reality Architects was founded by Marc Ballard in 2000. We take pride in providing a professional service to achieve high quality design with care and sensitivity to the character of the architecture and surrounding environment. A high level of experience of working with local contractors and consultants throughout the region means we can collaborate to give comprehensive estimates of costs while delivering projects on time and within budget.
We have completed numerous house extensions in Belfast and Counties Down and Antrim ranging from 20K to 250K. Every project is different and we will investigate all options until a perfect solution is found. All designs are fully illustrated with computer visuals in conjunction with a budget cost plan to ensure that you are making the right decision for your home.
The decision whether to refurbish or demolish and rebuild is not always clear. Preparing costed design options will allow you to decide on the most economically viable option. We have completed many refurbishments where the entire dwelling is stripped out, remodelled and extended, effectively creating a new house with high levels of insulation and energy efficiency.
We have just completed a double storey house extension and renovation of existing house with Marc. He has been wonderful and incredibly supportive throughout the course of the works. He has visited site on a regular basis and was always on hand to answer all of our queries. He is great at coming up with solutions to issues that arise and was very responsive to all of our communications. It has been a pleasure to have worked with such a professional and personable architect. We wouldn't consider working with anyone else if another project presents itself! We have no hesitation in recommending him to prospective clients. We are delighted with the end result. Thanks Marc. Mike and Fiona FB
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Marc worked with our requirements and ideas and guided us through a single storey extension, demolition and rebuild of 2 storey rear return and total refit of the original home. Marc was very involved throughout the project, listened to concerns and had very strong lines of communication with ourselves and the builders. We would not hesitate to recommend Marc.and, in fact, have already. We are delighted with our home. Thank you!
We approached Marc to design a 2 storey extension and ground floor reconfiguration. Marc listened to our requirements and created 2 designs which both fitted our brief. Marc worked with us refining the plans and redrawing them as necessary. Marc dealt with the Planning Department and Building Control as well as getting a structural engineers report for us. Marc was always willing to work with us to tailor our extension to fit our needs. Since finishing the extension we have asked Marc to do further work in relation to the build - this was completed again to the high standards we have always received. We would have no hesitation in recommending Marc as his ideas were innovative and maximised the existing structure of our house and surrounding plot.
