CUNDALL SEMINAR
We enjoyed the Cundall 'Beyond Zero' seminar yesterday on how we can be net positive in the office, at home, on projects and in the community.
The seminar was held in Wood Quay, and included the incredible statistic that Qatar's daily electricity consumption could power Sierra Leone for a year.

Our project on the redevelopment of The 5 Star Merrion Hotel in Dublin is coming along nicely, and is fitting well into the streetscape of Baggot Street.
With the project due to be completed soon, we are excited to see the reaction from patrons and the public.
We were delighted to give a small presentation to a party of 26 Norwegians on the history and cultural significance of the GPO Witness History, and interactions we had with the Dublin City Council.
The group, from the Oslo, Norway Cultural Heritage Management Office. were fascinated with the delivery of a modern intervention in such a context. It was fantastic to welcome them to the city!
Our work has been recognised with numerous awards, and we are honoured to have been featured in many architectural publications.
We believe that our dedicated and creative approach to projects sets us apart from the rest, and gives the perfect platform on which we can build on our successes to date. For more information on this, see http://www.kavanaghtuite.ie/publications/
The celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of UCD included the illumination of public areas and buildings within the Belfield Campus, and we were delighted to be involved with the project.
In conjunction with Pritchard Themis Lighting Design and White Young Green, the night-time appearance of the campus has been transformed. The lakeside, water tower and more than a dozen of the campus's buildings have been illuminated in dramatic fashion.
