Hamilton Architects have been planning, designing and procuring a wide range of new build, refurbishment, conservation and restoration projects for both public and private sector clients for almost 40 years. The practice has grown to become one of Ireland’s leading architectural consultancies through an established reputation for delivering high quality projects on time and within budget.

THE PRACTICE

Servicing the entire island of Ireland and the United Kingdom from our offices in Belfast and Derry, we have developed a comprehensive portfolio including many significant and award winning projects.

The practice was established by Alan Hamilton in 1972 in Belfast. Hamilton Architects opened the office in Derry in 1992.

We fully embrace a partnering approach to design as recommended in “Creating Excellence” (the Office of Government Commerce guide to best practice in construction) and utilise the Design Quality Indicator (DQI) Tool in the development of our projects. The DQI Tool allows all client groups and end users the opportunity to participate fully in the design process. The Crescent Arts Centre has been used as a DQI case study. Hamilton Architects have an in-house DQI Assessor.

We demonstrate our commitment to quality and sustainability through our externally accredited quality and environmental standards ISO 9001 & ISO 14001.

Hamilton Architects is a Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Chartered Practice with Gold Member Accreditation and a member of the  Royal Society of Ulster Architects (RSUA).

Acknowledging the importance of people in maintaining a successful practice, Hamilton Architects have a strong management team led by Partners Paul Millar, Seamus McCloskey and Mark Haslett.
