Summary
Damon Ball is a RIBA-registered architect and co-founder of A'Bear & Ball Architects LLP, specialising in high-end, contemporary residential design that is contextual, practical and sustainable. With over eight years' professional experience and a background delivering projects from £50k to over £5m, he combines strong design sensibility with robust project and contract management across all RIBA stages. Damon’s hands-on route to registration while working full-time reflects a practical, delivery-focused approach, and he has a particular interest in low-energy homes—one of his self-build solutions featured as a cover story in SelfBuild & Design. He balances creative architectural thinking with cost-effective, value-driven solutions, often drawing on technical experience gained earlier as a technical engineer. Based in the Greater Oxford area, Damon continues to pursue innovative residential projects across Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire.
