Niall will be taking part in a talk alongside Kim Wilkie and Audrey Carden on the 17th September at the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour to discuss the changing face of architecture and design in a decade that’s been described as a new ‘golden age of the English country house’. The event will be chaired by Interiors Editor, Giles Kime.
Under the title ‘London Maverick’ Mark Magazine has profiled Niall McLaughlin and a wide ranging showcase of the practice’s work. The article includes projects from the Bandstand at Bexhill-on-Sea in 2001 to the Chapel for Ripon Theological College completed last year, the latter being described as a project that “restores one’s faith in the capacity of architects to reinvent traditional forms.”
The work of the practice is described as defying categorisation and characterised by “poetry and invention”. Drawing on the broad theme of materiality, the review reflects on the design process for a selection of projects including House at Goleen, the student accommodation for Somerville College, the Information Centre in Hull and the Housing for the London Olympics.
