A2 Architects win the open two-stage competition for the new Tullamore Community Arts Centre. The jury praised the design as ‘being permeable, responsive and flexible. It best understood the demands of the brief and the site, finding a balance of ambition and decorum in its architectural language’. Shortlisted practices included Grafton Architects, Lawrence and Long Architects and Robinson McIlwaine Architects. (www.facebook.com/pages/A2-Architects)
