Guard Tillman Pollock Architects

Before founding London-based firm Guard Tillman Pollock in 2002, Mark Guard worked in the UK, Ireland, and North America for firms such as Richard Rogers Partnership, Rick Mather Architects, and Eva Jiricna Architect. Guard’s practice, which has as its goal “the development of elegant, functional, and modernist design,” has won many awards, including the RIBA Award for Houses and Housing for a rooftop apartment in Paris, which was subsequently short listed for the Stirling Prize for Architecture.

Above: For the design of a new house in Galway, Guard Tillman Pollack took their cues from traditional rural Irish buildings. “The simple rectangular form of the house stands abrupt and proud in the tradition of the Irish farm house. The white-painted interior is simply detailed; sliding walls allow the house to be largely open plan or divided off into more specific rooms as required.”

Above: For a two-story former car repair workshop in London, the architects carved out a light-filled interior with double-glazed sliding doors opening onto a garden courtyard.

Helen Porter is over the moon to learn that Matt Cutts, hot shot at Google, gave the thumbs up to www.porterinteriors.ie at a conference in Dublin last week. This was tweeted by Stephen O’leary of O’leary Analytics who was there on the night….these two events led to a huge surge in traffic to the site. Thanks to Mary and Jim www….rustylemon.com for a beautiful uncomplicated site.
