David Maxwell Architects - Belfast & Newry Northern Ireland

"We are delighted to have worked with DMA! Our brief from the outset was to marry the old with the new in extending our home of 30 years. It was so important to us that the new-build blend in with the existing building, so the choice of external finish was critical, whilst internally, we wished to incorporate an unorthodox approach to wall and ceiling finishes. Optimising on natural light was also a key driver, which David amply delivered on - adopting an exposed, high ceiling, a large roof light and fanlights over glazed patio doors. That first moment we saw DMA's 3D-renders, we just wanted it built! "

Eddie & Deirdre Gallagher

“DMA led the successful renovation of our Belfast City Centre Offices. Extremely good engagement throughout the project which was delivered on time, on budget and to a very high standard. It was an extremely positive experience dealing with David and all DMA staff and we look forward to working with them again in the future.”

Niall McGuickin, Datactics

“David is highly committed to his projects, comes up with innovative ideas, great to collaborate with through the design and build phases and extremely helpful dealing with Planning, Building Control and contractors. He is responsive and knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. We love the home you helped create - thank you!”

James & Alice Quigg

"We found DMA extremely enthusiastic, understanding and determined. They provided an impressive service and ultimately delivered for us a modern, spacious and inspired family home."

Ronan Murtagh

“We engaged David to design our replacement dwelling and he delivered beyond our expectations; creating a practical family home, designed to fit in with the landscape of the Mournes, with a modern touch. The judgment of proportion and layout was spot on as well as David's guidance on how to maximize the views, lighting and sun path. We are delighted with the result and were expertly advised by David from design to completion.”

Emer and Mark Poland

“After some research, we decided to go with DMA Architects as we loved their contemporary and spacious designs. We met with David and his team and they were knowledgeable, patient, explained things very well and offered helpful advice.

We received the designs promptly and were so impressed at how spot on they were and how many parts of our extensive wish-list he had managed to work in! The process was so quick and much easier than we had anticipated.

When the build started, we really began to appreciate the care that had been taken in a number of areas such as the positioning of the house for best use of sunlight and views, the addition of some modern details and stylistic touches, the clever use of every bit of space and how it was designed perfectly to reflect our lifestyle and how we would live in it.

A year after the completion there is absolutely nothing we would change about the layout or style of our home. As well as this, David was so lovely to deal with and made the process easy and enjoyable! We can 100% recommend David Maxwell Architects.”

Keith McWilliams

"We can't recommend DMA highly enough. David and his team took us from a green-field site right through to a finished house, advising us on what is possible from a Planning and building perspective and guiding us through the tender process with potential contractors. The personal service ensured both my wife and I ended up with the dream home we wanted."
