The second Western award went to Simon J. Kelly and Partners for their inspired remodelling of Kenny's Bookshop in Galway, long a Mecca for bibliophiles. This involved the creation of a three-storey top-lit atrium, surrounded by timber galleries, in place of a single storey link between the Quay Street and Middle Street frontages. Described by the assessors as "the quintessential bookshop", its owners are delighted.Today we have a cascade of light in a new and stylish heart of the building, more selling space, accessibility and efficiency. And even more character.
