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.

Lisa and Ronan were recommended to us by a friend and I am so grateful we found them. They have walked us through the entire process step by step, keeping in regular contact, giving us realistic timeframes and incorporating all our suggestions and ideas. I am totally confident that the finished product will be better than we had ever hoped for and would highly recommend them to anyone

Claire & Robert(written after planning approval)

From beginning to end we found Ronan and Lisa to be extremely helpful and accommodating and always answered any queries promptly. They liaised with the builder and all other contractors for us and I can honestly say that we didn’t have one day of stress during the whole extension build (most of which was during lockdown!

Claire & Robert(written after completion of the project)

Lisa at Studio Park oversaw a conversion at my home. Throughout the entire process she was extremely helpful, thorough and pleasant to work with. She has a fantastic eye for detail! She made excellent suggestions which have proven highly beneficial, and went over and above to help me. She is highly competent and ensured that everything ran smoothly. As a result I have a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing space which I am delighted with. I can highly recommend Studio Park Architects

Jayne

We have been working with Lisa Park regarding a single storey extension and would say without reservation that we have found her to be very knowledgeable in all matters relating to our project. She is also very contactable and works with us regarding either site visits or coming to our home with plans etc. Lisa is always very quick answering any query or question we have no matter how irrelevant we think it might be! We look forward to completing our project in the next couple of months. Lastly, Lisa is a diligent and professional person and we would highly recommend her and her work

Marian & Billy

Honestly Lisa, all of it is gorgeous. Thank you so much for everything. We love it. And the guys who installed and made it were really helpful. So pleased.

Kathy & Mael(second project)

Ronan and Lisa worked really well with us on our home renovations. They listened and incorporated everything that we asked for but with a creative flair that we do not possess! We also had to change the extent of the brief and they were flexible in accommodating our needs and helping get these through Building Control. We would thoroughly recommend Ronan and Lisa and would use them again in the future

Patricia & Gavin

Ronan and Lisa were professional and attentive from start to finish. They listened carefully to what we wanted from our project while providing expert and creative advice. Throughout the process they kept us informed at every stage and skilfully guided the project through to building control approval. We would highly recommend their services

Alan & Caoimhe

When our second child arrived, we knew we would eventually have to extend our house or move elsewhere. We like our street and didn't want to move but construction of an extension seemed daunting. Lisa and Ronan showed us what was possible and helped make it a reality. It wasn't just the architectural side. They dealt with the planning permission, building control, structural engineers and all the other technical details that we hadn't even known about. They were always available to us and kept in constant touch with the builders to keep the project on track. Our rundown little two bed semi is now a beautiful modern home fit for our growing family. We are in love with our new kitchen!

Mark & Orla

We are confident to highly recommend Studio Park services. Lisa and Ronan are very professional and dependable, with significant expertise in their field. We had experience using other architects but found Studio Park to be superior in terms of their creative design approach and attention to detail, and importantly they spent time listening to our ideas and helpfully incorporating them into the design.

There was good communication throughout the project. The initial planning application was unfairly queried by planners, but we pushed back along with the help of our architects who successfully made the case resulting in our appeal being successful. We look forward to making our dream a reality and to working with Studio Park in the project management phase!

Sarah & Aidan

Studio Park's experience, knowledge and professionalism shone through from our first meeting with them. They really understand the importance of making the space work for the whole family. The design they produced was truly innovative and modern whilst keeping in sync with the existing building.

Claire & Andy

We were so pleased with the service we received from Studio Park when we were planning and building a two-storey extension to our home. We had a fairly clear idea of what we wanted, but needed someone who could help us make it a reality. Ronan and Lisa listened to our needs and then came up with a design that far exceeded our expectations.

Ronan and Lisa were professional and efficient, they kept us updated on every stage of the project and quickly answered any queries we had.

The extension is beautifully designed, and has transformed our home. We would definitely recommend Studio Park to anyone who is thinking about extending their home.

David & Maeve

It was great working with StudioPARK. They fully took on board what our requirements were and their plans made a fantastic use of the limited space available. They were friendly, approachable and explained everything thoroughly. We would definitely recommend StudioPARK and if we ever need an architect again they would be our first port of call.

Cathy & Brenda(Abbey SureStart)

Your work is beautiful and we’re so excited. We love it, and will be recommending you to anyone who’s thinking of extending or building.
