Our Story so far
We're StudioPARK, a family-run business founded in 2018 by us, Lisa and Ronan. Our story began when we met at Queen's University Belfast, where we discovered our shared passion for architecture and design. After years of studying and gaining experience worldwide, we moved back to Belfast with our young family to pursue our dream of running our own design studio.
Drawing upon our combined, international experience and local expertise, and with the invaluable support of our growing team, we strive to make meaningful contributions to the world of architecture and design. Our goal is to leave a lasting impact on the communities we serve.
At Studio Park, we believe in the power of design to transform lives and communities. That's why sustainability is at the core of everything we do. From energy-efficient buildings to eco-friendly materials, we're committed to creating spaces that not only look beautiful but also respect the planet.
Whether you're embarking on a residential, commercial, or conservation project, Studio Park is here to make your dreams a reality. With our passion for design, dedication to sustainability, and unwavering commitment to our clients, we're not just building spaces — we're building futures.
