Natural History Museum, Hintz Hall Opening

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, HINTZ HALL OPENING

JULY 2017

Niall attended the Natural History Museum VIP opening of Hintze Hall and the introduction of Hope – the new blue whale skeleton suspended from Alfred Waterhouse’s wrought iron roof structure.

This new exhibit marks a new chapter in the Museum’s engagement with the public on scientific issues. Meanwhile Dippy the Dinosaur has embarked on a UK-wide tour which will culminate in the skeleton being cast in bronze before taking up its new home in the NMLA-designed Museum grounds.

The first phase of this project involves the restoration and introduction of accessibility to the Museum’s famous main entrance and is due to complete in November 2017.

BUSHMILLS DISTILLERY

JANUARY 2017

We are working on a new project for Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim. The proposed buildings include a new café, tasting rooms and a new bonded warehouse. The design for the new buildings is to be situated around a sequence of terraced ponds and waterfalls and frame key historic buildings on the site. A new landscape setting and approach has also been developed for the site.
