Meath projects take top prizes at building awards

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2001 / October 31 2001: Meath projects take top prizes at building awards

Two projects in Co Meath - home of the Minister for the Environment, Mr Dempsey - have taken top prizes in this year's OPUS Building of the Year awards. The awards, presented yesterday, went to Grafton Architects for Meath County Council's new civic offices in Dunshaughlin and to Newenham Mulligan and Associates for Trim courthouse. The jury said the civic offices were "a jewel-like beacon of contemporary design on the suburban fringe of a typical Irish town" and had been "imbued with a civic character without recourse to ponderous stylism".
