RIAI Awards 2011.
Congratulations to Paul Dillon Architects on winning the Best Commercial / Retail Building with the KFC Drive-through.
'With the unlikely brief of a drive-through restaurant, this project has, through a thoughful choice of materials; rigorous control of proportion and careful making of openings, achieved a satisfying result in a fragmented and chaotic suburban location' (www.Irisharchitectureawards.ie)
