Following this, he worked for a number of award-winning architectural practices including Edwin Elliot and renowned architect John Blair, both in Queenstown.

In 2007 Halliday relocated to Dublin and began work for Hennessy Doyle Architects developing knowledge on high-end residential projects.     

In 2009 Halliday Ryan joined Jamie Falla Architecture (JFA) in Guernsey, Channel Islands. JFA is an award-winning practice and has received widespread international accolades with a number of published works. The practice specialised in high end residential and also worked on multi-residential and commercial projects. 

During 2012 and 2013 Halliday worked with Jamie Falla on Horizons - a private residence which won a Guernsey Design Award - best renovation/extension in 2016. In 2014, following five years in the Guernsey studio, Halliday returned to New Zealand opening up his own practice Arc Atelier Ltd. The practice provided continued support and consultation to JFA while also undertaking local work throughout New Zealand, predominantly in Dunedin and Central Otago. In 2018 Arc Atelier completed the fit-out design of Solomons Law, in Solomons House, Dunedin and continues to work on a wide range of projects in New Zealand and Guernsey.
