International Rugby Experience wins Grand Prize and ‘Sharing Public Spaces’ category at the biannual international Brick Award 24 hosted by Wienerberger

Our International Rugby Experience in Limerick has won the Wienerberger Brick 24 Grand Prize and winner in the Shared Spaces category. Judge Ingrid van der Heijden said of the building “ We chose the project as it really seduces people to go inside, because of what you can see on the outside”. The jury of internationally renowned architects chose five winning projects out of 743 entries from 54 countries.

The Brick Award is an international established award and has been celebrating outstanding brick architecture from all around the world for 2 decades.

A film by Wienerberger about the building can be viewed here.

BALLIOL COLLEGE

OCTOBER 2015

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.
