Niall McLoughlin studied at UCD from 1979 to 1986 and
subsequently worked with leading Irish architectural firm Scott Tallon
Walker. He set up his own London-based firm in 1990.
He won the award for a highly original body of work which
ranges from a Carmelite monastery in Kensington to a duck-blind in Northamptonshire.
The award is a new one and is sponsored by Building Design magazine and British Steel. The judges said they were intrigued by a submission which did not seem to conform with current stereotypes in building design.
The architect has previously won RIAI Regional Awards for two of his projects - the Carmelite monastery in 1996 and the Phillimore Club in London in 1997. His duck-blind, known as 'The Shack', was designed for a wild-life photographer beside a pond and includes a small bedspace for the client's children. It has been critically acclaimed as evoking the organic works of architectural masters like Alvar Aalto and FrankLloyd Wright.
Niall McLaughlin also teaches part-time in London's Bartlett
School of Architecture.
