MICHAEL WEBB WRITES A FEATURE ON NIALL MCLAUGHLIN IN MARK MAGAZINE

OCTOBER 2013

Michael Webb Writes a Feature on Niall McLaughlin in Mark Magazine

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.

SHORTLISTED FOR ST. CROSS COLLEGE COMPETITION

MAY 2012

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.’
