From the Civic Trust Awards website
” the continued international resonance of the Civic Trust Awards, was evidenced by over 300 entries from across the USA, Ireland, Canada, India and South Korea, underscoring the programme’s growing international reach. Together, these projects showcase impressive ambition and diversity, all driven by a shared commitment to enhancing the built environment and the lives of those who engage with it.”
We were particularly pleased with the judges’ statement which elegantly captures the spirit of the project and everything we have tried to achieve in the design and realisation of this important cultural project……
“The DeValera Library & Súil Art Gallery is a confident and generous civic project that brings together culture, learning and public life at the heart of Ennis. Through a carefully considered architectural response, the scheme provides a contemporary library and gallery that strengthens the town centre, reinforces civic identity and establishes a welcoming public destination for a wide range of users. It demonstrates how investment in cultural infrastructure can support both everyday use and long-term social value.”
