Coming of Age

Welsh Wildlife Centre, Cilgerran

Architect: Niall Philips

Niall Philips dabbled in this thoughtful piece of early eco-modernism on the woody Welsh Wildlife Centre in Cilgerran, which scooped The Royal Society of Architects in Wales Building of the Year. The south facing elevation is a three storey outward looking glass pavilion, whilst the north facing side is a rough one-story timber structure, more like a birdwatching hide. Where Cilgerran led in design terms, many other nature and heritage visitor centres followed over the coming years.
