About

Good architecture lives in
the margins.
In the space between what
is, and what could be.

Meet Nuala

Margin was founded by Nuala Cranney. A Belfast-based architect and planning consultant specialising in residential projects throughout Northern Ireland. The practice is built around care, clarity, and considered thinking. Every project is shaped around you.

let's talk

“Margin isn't just about adding space. It’s about shaping what matters and why.”

Sometimes that means extending.
Sometimes reconfiguring.
Sometimes securing planning permission that unlocks the true potential of a building or site.

Every decision, design or otherwise, is made with both everyday life and long-term value in mind.

The result is architecture that feels calm, resolved, and built to last.
