Niall McLaughlin has spoken on the themes surrounding two of the practice’s recent projects, the Athletes‘ Housing for the London Olympics and the Bishop Edward King Chapel in Oxfordshire, at an event hosted by the Building Centre in London. The evening was entitled “Concrete Elegance – Exploring Light and Spatial Creativity.”
Niall McLaughlin Architects has been shortlisted for the St. Cross College competition for Oxford University. Pringle Richards Sharratt, Walters and Cohen and Wilkinson Eyre are the other shortlisted practices. The brief asks for the new student accommodation to be a ‘natural companion and complement to the existing buildings’ and is described as a ‘rare opportunity to finish a tucked-away and much loved space.’
