Piling is due to commence on the site of our International Rugby Experience in Limerick. The tight urban site is on the edge of a conservation area within the city’s Georgian Quarter and the challenge for us is to create a civic building that sits comfortably within the fine grain of the Georgian context. Once complete, the building will be a will be a new cultural institution and visitor experience to showcase the worldwide game of rugby.
We offer our congratulations to Simon Bishop who has been made an Associate. He joins Tim Allen-Booth, Tilo Guenther and Joanna Karatzas in this leadership role within the practice. Simon joined Niall McLaughlin Architects in 2008 and has worked on a range of projects including the Athletes’ Village housing in Stratford and the Somerville Student Accommodation in Oxford.
We are also pleased to announce Ruth Ryan as Practice Manager. Her long-standing experience in all areas of office management, finance and HR is proving invaluable.
