Damien Morgan was delighted to attend the ICE Awards in the Round Room, Mansion House as a guest of Duggan Brothers. A fantastic night was topped off by scooping the Judges Silver Award for the Medieval Mile Museum Conservation & Restoration project for Kilkenny County Council.
The project combined sensitive restoration and contemporary design to an exemplary standard. The restoration, extension and conservation of St Marys Hall forms part of the larger ‘St Marys Precinct’ project and the completed building is now the centre-piece of Ireland’s Medieval Mile, a concentration of medieval sites and buildings in the core of Kilkenny City.
The feedback from Kilkenny County Council has been very positive. The building has been successful in attracting a large number of visitors to the City and has been the focus of a significant number of professional and academic studies and presentations.
