O'Donnell & Tuomey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

O'Donnell + Tuomey is an architectural practice based in Dublin, Ireland, described by Architecture Today as one of "the godfathers of contemporary Irish architecture".[1]

The practice was established in 1981 by Sheila O'Donnell and John Tuomey,[2] who had both previously worked for Stirling Wilford in London.[3] The pair formed part of Group 91 Architects,[3] the masterplanners for the regeneration of Dublin's Temple Bar district in the early 1990s

Notable projects

The practice became widely known when their Irish Film Centre and Gallery of Photography won the Downes Medal, in 1992 and 1996 respectively.[2] They have since designed a number of notable buildings, including the Glucksman Gallery at University College Cork,[3] the Irish installation at the Venice Biennale 2004, and the Ranelagh Multidenominational School, which won the RIAI Triennial Gold Medal in 2006.
