Killyon Church Refurbishment Wins RIAI Conservation Award
PG&E Architects, led by Patrick Gilsenan, successfully refurbished Killyon Church in Enfield, Co. Meath, earning national recognition at the RIAI Awards 2019. The project, previously involved in the Killyon Church renovation and winners of the 2019 RIAI Conservation Award, tackled several challenges including a leaking copper roof, heating problems, and a layout that needed consolidation. The church, originally built in the 1950s, was reduced in size from 5000 sq ft to 3500 sq ft, bringing the congregation closer to the altar and creating a more intimate setting. Externally, the church remains largely unaltered, preserving landmark features like the bell tower. Internally, significant modifications were made to address the issues. New finishes were applied throughout to give the church a contemporary style while respecting its design and character. The heating system was replaced with an efficient gas condensing boiler, and the copper roof was replaced with a warm, insulated natural zinc roof. The refurbished Killyon Church, now a more intimate and comfortable space, has been recognised for its conservation efforts. Patrick Gilsenan and his team at PG&E Architects are proud of the local community's acknowledgment of their hard work, as reflected in the RIAI Award for Conservation.
