In September 2007 the Dublin office of NORD opened in Harcourt Street
in the centre of the city. The office is represented by Robin Lee, Project Director
for Wexford County Council Headquarters and Project Architect, Graeme McQuaker.
YAYA
2006, Young Architect of the Year Award
In 2006 NORD Architecture won the prestigious Young Architect of the Year Award,
the only practice outside London to have reached the final list. The YAYA award
is organised by Building Design magazine to recognise and reward the UK and Ireland's
most promising architectural practice with principals under the age of 40.
The judges said NORD has " ...a raw energy and a passionate commitment
while its invention and ability to get things built is remarkable..."

HOT LIST 2007
NORD
Adroit branding has played a part in making Glasgow's NORD (Northern Office
for Research and Design) one of the most interesting new architectural practices
in Britain. This year they won the Young Architects of the Year Award. Robin
Lee, who with partner Alan Pert founded NORD in 2002, defines their approach
as 'thoroughly researched and co-ordinated with the clients' requirements'.
Although Lee and Pert are rightly reluctant to be stigmatised as provincial,
the unique character of Glasgow - in particular its gritty social mix and its
terrible weather - provide a richly stimulating context for NORD's designs.
Since the smoking ban, the social dynamic of the city has changed. To meet
new needs, NORD proposes to create subversive Ground Source Heat Pumps: these
are boreholes cycling a warmed mixture of water and anti-freeze to heated outdoor
seating for groups of exiled smokers.
NORD also has lively proposals to redeploy Glasgow's 33 splendid but neglected
Victorian public lavatories: some will become cafes, others will be 'steamies',
demotic for laundries. Other projects include the restoration of the epochal
Govanhill Baths.
NORD makes building designs which are elegant, appropriate, witty, responsible,
optimistic and cost-effective. Exactly what good architecture should be.
