About the practice

Niall McLaughlin Architects is a practice that designs high quality modern Architecture with a strong emphasis on the inventive use of building materials, the qualities of light and the relationship between the building and its surroundings. These issues are considered to be more important than working in a particular style and it’s hoped that each project is an original interpretation of the client, site, brief and budget. Niall established the practice in 1991 and now employs 17 people including three associates who have joined Niall in developing the practice. In 1998 Niall McLaughlin was selected as the UK Young Architect of the Year. Following this the practice’s achievements have been recognised nationally and internationally with numerous awards for its buildings, exhibitions and publications. In 2001 Niall McLaughlin was made an honorary fellow of the Royal Institute of Architects in Ireland for achievements in architecture.
