MADE BY MEMBERS _ PROJECT SHOWCASE
New home with breathtaking view of Belfast Lough Distinguished Homes delivered an impressive new-build residence in County Down, Northern Ireland. Set on a 1.2-acre elevated woodland site overlooking Belfast Lough, the 5,100 sq ft Georgian-style detached home provides six bedrooms and two garages, designed for modern family living. Appointed by a developer client, Distinguished Homes worked with the architect to balance traditional aesthetics with practical construction, efficient layouts and long-term running costs. The project presented significant challenges, including demolition of a derelict asbestos-containing property, ecological constraints due to bats, and the protection of 177 mature trees under preservation orders. Through meticulous planning and ongoing collaboration, the team delivered a high-quality period-style home, maximising the site’s views while respecting its environmental sensitivities.
