Niall took part in the event We Built this City, which was created to raise awareness and celebrate the contribution Irish people have made to the built and cultural fabric of London, from historic to contemporary times. Niall’s contribution titled ‘London Made Me’ looked at the role of the city as a place of emancipation for the immigrants from around the world.
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.
