Residential design in Northern Ireland
Creating beautiful homes unique to every client
Established in 2003, Richard Burnside Architecture has built a reputation for combining outstanding design with the highest level of professional service.
A full scope of modern housing design
We provide a full and dedicated spectrum of architecture and residential design in Northern Ireland, as well as across Ireland and the UK. We start from outline proposals, designs, planning permissions, and detailed designs through to site management and final completion of your project.
The steady expansion of the firm has been the result of many years of client referrals, the patronage of a number of valued clients and an innovative approach to any new project.
Building a working relationship with our clients
We believe that building a trusting, communicative relationship with yourself as a client, is key to a project's successful realisation. Approaching each project, our aim is to provide a sensitive, creative response not only to the needs and aspirations of the individual client but also to the unique opportunities presented by each site.

Testimonials
"We approached Richard Burnside Architecture to renovate and extend our small semi-detached dwelling. The thought of configuring the space, extending up and out to the side was daunting until Richard put our mind at ease offering imaginative ideas and solutions making the most of every square inch of space.
What started out as a formidable thought turned out to be a great experience, and we couldn't be happier with the result. We can highly recommend Richard Burnside Architecture as a first class architectural team."
William and Pamela
"Living close to Richard, I asked him how we could make better use of our layout and space. After a quick look round he came up with ideas almost instantly. Richard designed a layout that would bring increased light into our dark kitchen through a configuration that works extremely well for the practicalities of a young family. He also zoned the living space from the sleeping areas and included additional bedrooms and a garage.
Now every room links so well and the entire house just flows. Without Richard and his creativity, our light filled home would just be another house. "
