Bushmills Distillery

January 2017

We are working on a new project for Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim. The proposed buildings include a new café, tasting rooms and a new bonded warehouse. The design for the new buildings is to be situated around a sequence of terraced ponds and waterfalls and frame key historic buildings on the site. A new landscape setting and approach has also been developed for the site.

Niall McLaughlin Gives Royal Gold Medal Speech for Herman Hertzberger

February 2012

Niall McLaughlin nominated Herman Hertzberger as the recipient of the 2012 Royal Gold Medal. At the award ceremony in London this month Niall delivered the formal citation for Herman Hertzberger on behalf of the honours committee.

“For Hertzberger inhabitation is the key….architects should be specialists in the daily life of people. This is done not by asking people what they want but by undertaking a rational observation of what they are.”
