SMALL PROJECTS AWARD

OCTOBER 2014

“Small projects allow you to do something singular and very memorable…..Through small projects you discover yourself.” NM

Niall McLaughlin joined Maria Smith, co-founder of Studio Weave, to discuss the merits and challenges of small building projects at the launch of the 2015 Small Projects Award. The award seeks to recognise the best architecture built for less than £250,000. This year’s event was chaired by Rory Olcayto, acting editor of the AJ and was held at the Building Centre in London.

PEABODY HOUSING STARTS ON SITE

OCTOBER 2012

Peabody Housing Starts on Site

Niall McLaughlin Architects’ housing project in Whitechapel for the Peabody Trust will start on site at the end of the month. The project makes use of an infill site on the existing Victorian Peabody Trust estate.  The scheme completes the courtyard enclosure formed by the existing blocks whilst retaining ‘open corners’.  This strategy prompts easy pedestrian access and views between the courtyard and surrounding streets.
