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.
We offer our congratulations to Simon Bishop who has been made an Associate. He joins Tim Allen-Booth, Tilo Guenther and Joanna Karatzas in this leadership role within the practice. Simon joined Niall McLaughlin Architects in 2008 and has worked on a range of projects including the Athletes’ Village housing in Stratford and the Somerville Student Accommodation in Oxford.
We are also pleased to announce Ruth Ryan as Practice Manager. Her long-standing experience in all areas of office management, finance and HR is proving invaluable.
