OCTOBER 2015
Niall McLaughlin Architects are delighted to have won the competition for a proposed new development for Balliol College in Oxford. The project brief is to increase and upgrade the College’s undergraduate and graduate student accommodation and provide conference facilities and a sports pavilion. The commission gives the practice the opportunity to revist the design of the student room cluster and create a series of buildings arranged around quadrangles and gardens.

The Tapestry Building has received reserved matters approval by the London Borough of Camden in a unanimous vote. The building contains residential dwellings, commercial premises, multi-storey car park and the site-wide energy centre.
The energy centre will meet the majority of the heating and power demands for the whole regeneration site. The leader of Camden Council said of the scheme’s approval, “We welcome the continued commitment to helping create a sustainable future environment for King’s Cross.”
