With over 30 years in practice, Níall’s body of work displays remarkable artistic constancy, seen regardless of project size or budget. What is shaped draws on a deep awareness of place, material, craft, light and form, with a continued commitment to the quality of space. Teaching has been integral to his practice from the start, with Níall describing his first role at Oxford Brookes as his introduction to any coherent architecture scene in the UK. His dedication to education also reflects his same sustained commitment to the future of architecture.
