Niall delivered the Giles Worsley Memorial Lecture at the British Academy, at Carlton House Terrace on the 11th of February. The lecture focussed on three projects, a country house in Hampshire, a chapel and the extension and restoration of Auckland Castle.
The new Carmelite Chapel for the Discalced Friars in Clarendon Street, Dublin is now complete. The Chapel forms part of St. Teresa’s Church and Priory and uses a pared-back post-and-beam framework to create a space which is conducive to prayer, song and private contemplation. The series of cross-laminated timber frames are turned at right angles to enclose the four sides of the space and form a woven structural lattice.
