About
Hi, my name is Barry Maguire. I am a registered Chartered Architect and Certified Passive House Designer with 20 years’ experience in the private residential building sector. I offer a friendly, professional design and coordination service from our first conversation about your project through to your finished design.
Specializing in sustainable, low-carbon design solutions as a Certified Passive House designer, I have a passion for creating environmentally friendly and affordable living spaces. My design solutions offer an alternative and sustainable approach to comfortable living.
All designs include 3D modelling as standard. Starting from initial consultation sketch designs, we progress with 3D modelling with architectural renderings to fully detailed working drawing packages.
Steps for a Successful Built Project:
Curious about the steps for a successful built project, on time and on budget? An initial on site consultation is a cost effective solution. The fee for an on-site consultation in the Midulster* area is £100 which is deducted from your final invoice when you decide to go forward with the project. We will discuss your project ideas in-depth, including site assessment, planning and Building Control applications, the general feasibility of the project and potential construction costs.
*For locations beyond Midulster, additional travel fees may apply based on your specific location.

Q&A’s
What do you love most about your job?
I love to talk about building projects of all shapes and sizes, understanding the aspirations and really getting down to the detail of what my clients want to achieve. Immersing myself within the design process, creating sketches and models and testing out all sorts of design options and trying think outside the box. The journey through the design process can be quite demanding and challenging for any client so delivering a final design that exceeds my clients expectations is very rewarding and creates immense job satisfaction.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Creative freedom, flexibility to manage my time over several projects and the opportunity to engage directly with clients.
Why should our clients choose you?
Ultimately it’s all about communication and establishing a professional working relationship. Client care and project delivery are forefront within my work ethos.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes I provide online and remote working architectural services. Please email the office on info@barrymaguire.co.uk with your project details and preferred times and I will reply within a day to set up a time to discuss the project by phone or via MS Teams or Zoom.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
