Award-winning architect, Hugh Wallace, has become a new brand ambassador for DS Automobiles Ireland, part of the Gowan Group, writes Trish Whelan

Hugh is a founding director of the architect firm Douglas Wallace, a member of the Royal Institute of Architects in Ireland, and past president of the Institute of Designers in Ireland. 

Since starting his company in 1982, Hugh has guided its growth to become one of Ireland’s leading architecture and design firms. He is also well known as a judge in RTE’s Home of the Year series and a presenter of RTE’s Great House Revival. 

Hugh now drives the new DS 4 E-Tense PHEV (plug in hybrid) in a vibrant Velvet Red colour, voted by Festival Automobile International Jury as the Most Beautiful Car of 2022. He said the cars feature exceptional design and a very premium feel which stood out to him personally. 

DS Automobiles Ireland Marketing Manager, Jana Solovjova said Hugh is ‘a great fit’ for the brand and they look forward to working with him on various projects.
