Remodelling and extended a derelict house is difficult enough…taking on a Listed Building was even more of a challenge!!! From day one nothing was a problem for DMA. From initial designs right through to completion David and his team were so professional, innovative, friendly and always there to assist and advise. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thanks for helping us make our dream home a reality.

We are delighted to have worked with DMA. It was so important to us that the new-build blend in from day one, so the choice of external finish was critical, whilst the internal was to incorporate an unorthodox approach to wall and ceiling finishes. Optimising on natural light was also a key driver, which DMA amply delivered on, adopting an exposed, high ceiling, a large roof light and fanlights over glazed patio doors. That first moment we saw David’s 3D-renders, we just wanted it built.

Professional, flexible, and responsible – working with David Maxwell Chartered Architects to bring our dream home to life was a pleasure. Highly recommended.

We couldn’t be happier with our house design created by David. He really helped bring the vision to life for us. He carefully considered the natural light, sunrises and sunsets and optimised the views from our site while also ensuring our plans would allow for practical and open living for our growing family. The service was fantastic and David always helped provide solid advice when needed. We are very grateful.

The dedication, commitment and professionalism shown by David and his team at DMA was exceptional. They were able to secure planning for two old replacement dwellings and produce plans which were respectful of our unique needs, our heritage, and our environment. They listened very acutely to our needs, communicated perfectly, and showed great patience and efficiency, responding promptly each time. They are part of our story in bringing our Mourne cottages into the modern era with a great deal of respect and sensitivity for our past heritage. David, we thank you for taking our dreams and making them reality.

Working with David & his team has been a pleasure from start to finish. From our very first meeting, David took the time to understand our vision and the unique challenges of the project. David blended creativity with functionality, ensuring that every detail of the design reflected our needs and the end result exceeded our expectations.

The process was seamless, with clear communication at every stage. David was professional and responsive as well as being flexible when adjustments were needed.

We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and wholeheartedly recommend David and his team.

After some research, we decided to go with DMA Architects as we loved their contemporary and spacious designs. We met with David and he was knowledgeable, patient, explained things very well and offered helpful advice. We felt he took the time to understand us and how we would like to enjoy our home.

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. As well as this, David was so lovely to deal with and made the process easy and enjoyable! We can 100% recommend him.

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.

DMA were happy to meet when it was convenient for us and took the time to listen and understand the type of project we wanted to create. At all times our questions were answered promptly, all milestones met, and expectations managed along the way. What was particularly impressive was the added value, the advice and guidance on other aspects we hadn’t considered, and DMA were always able to put us in touch with an industry expert to help us along the way. Would highly recommend. We were delighted to see the finished design, it was everything we wanted, and can’t thank David and team enough.

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.

Their friendly, dedicated and professional manner made DMA a genuine pleasure to work with. Their speedy responses coupled with imagination and ability to put our conversations and ideas to paper made the whole process a lot easier than we imagined possible. The special and unique home they have created has really added that extra excitement in beginning the next chapter.

Despite the constraints of being on the other side of the world, David made the process of designing our home seamless. He took our ‘wish list’ on board and produced a great design which works perfectly for our needs. We couldn’t be happier with the service provided and the end result – thanks so much David!

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!

I 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.

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.

DMA provided us with assistance on several projects over the past number of years. They are very focussed on the details and ensure that nothing is missed in the development and implementation of our ideas. All matters involving Planning and Building control approvals as well as managing contractors can all be left in their safe hands!

DMA were friendly and professional to work with and delivered our project from inception to completion on site without any issues. We would highly recommend.
