Samuel Stevenson & Sons was founded in 1886 and is the longest‑established architectural practice in Northern Ireland. Originally based in Royal Avenue, Belfast, the Practice has operated from its Greenwood Avenue offices since 1972. Sustaining success over such a long period has required the Practice to continually adapt to changing market demands and procurement methods, while maintaining a steadfast commitment to professionalism for both Clients and Consultants.
The firm is a medium‑sized practice led by Clare Ogle as Managing Director.
By deliberately avoiding a predetermined “house style,” Samuel Stevenson & Sons adopts a flexible and considered approach to the design process. This freedom from preconception allows the Practice to deliver bespoke design solutions tailored to the specific aspirations and requirements of each individual Client

Our Approach
In addition to the Directors, the Practice is supported by a strong team of professional and technical staff. For each project, a dedicated architectural team is appointed and retained for the full duration of the commission, ensuring continuity and a thorough understanding of the project at every stage.
This approach enables the team to remain fully conversant with the day‑to‑day demands of the design, tendering, and construction processes, supporting effective decision‑making and consistent delivery from inception through to completion.
OUR REPUTATION
Our reputation is built on the delivery of high‑quality, well‑designed buildings that respond sensitively to their site context and fully address Client briefs. Our work consistently meets programme and budget requirements while adhering to best practice in construction and detailing.
The scale of the Practice enables Directors to maintain a close and ongoing relationship with Clients from project commencement through to completion, ensuring continuity of service, clear communication, and a trusted point of leadership throughout every stage of a project.
