Niall is taking part in a collaborative lecture at the Royal Academy on the 22nd October alongside Laura Lee, the Chief Executive of Maggie’s Centers and Clod Ensemble. The talk titled Embodying space: Can architecture create a palcebo effect, will look at how our physical relationship to the spaces we inhabit affects our health and experiences of care.
We are delighted that our project West Court for Jesus College Cambridge has won an RIBA Regional Award and Tom McGlynn was awarded the RIBA East Project Architect of the Year. The project design includes the refurbishment and extension of the Grade II listed Webb Building with new café pavilion and basement bar, and the remodelling and extension of the 1970’s Rank Building fronting Jesus Lane.
The judges commented “This extension to Jesus College manages the difficult trick of feeling entirely old fashioned in its use of hand crafted materials … while remaining entirely modern in its loose geometry, use of daylight and simplicity of forms. Jesus College now offers a sequence of rational, thoughtful spaces that seems inevitable, but we know took a great deal of architectural skill and determination to deliver”
