Plans & Designs
Exciting plans for a new theatre by architects O’Donnell & Tuomey were selected from 56 entries to our open design competition in 2003. They have been working closely with us to shape a building that will be central in positioning the rapidly developing city of Belfast as a major European destination.
O’Donnell + Tuomey Architects are currently engaged in the design of cultural buildings, schools, housing and mixed use buildings in Ireland, the Netherlands and the UK. Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey have taught at schools of architecture in the UK and USA. Sheila is currently a studio lecturer and John has been recently appointed Professor of Architectural Design at University College Dublin. They represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale in 2004 and 2008 and won the RIAI Gold Medal in 2005. A monograph ‘O’Donnell + Tuomey Selected Works’, featuring fifteen projects from 1991-2004, has recently been published by Princeton Architectural Press.
