Entitled Wandering Routes, a selection of Niall’s sketches and drawings for the Alzheimer’s Respite Centre in Dublin are featured alongside a transcript of a conversation with Tina di Carlo and Olivia Horsfall Turner.

We have received planning approval and Listed Building Consent for the restoration and extension to Auckland Castle in Co. Durham. The project involves repairs and alterations to the existing listed buildings, a new museum extension and a visitor reception building facing the town square. Given the high sensitivity of this unique site, the planning process took almost one year, involving a very constructive dialogue with English Heritage and Durham County Council. The designs had overwhelming support from local people.
