Two of our projects have been awarded both Regional and National RIBA Awards. The Fishing Hut in Hampshire which is a shelter and tackle store for anglers to fish on the river and Darbishire House on the Whitechapel Estate for Peabody is low-cost housing comprising 13 social rented units in 1/2/3 and 4-bed configurations.
Under the tile ‘Happy Ending’, Jan-Carlos Kucharek has reviewed the Chapel for Ripon Theological College in Oxfordshire. The article reflects on the conversations with the client to develop the design, together with the stories and architectural precedents that worked together to inform the building’s final form. Kucharek writes, “…there’s no questioning the positive effect of McLaughlin’s £2.6m chapel on the picturesque Ripon College, both functionally and aesthetically.” He goes on to describe the elliptical form, accessed on the diagonal between the long and short axes, as “a master stroke.”
