Projects showcase skills of local profession
Island architects are hoping to build the profession's reputation with the first public exhibition of their work.
Thirty-five projects, ranging from domestic extensions to infrastructure commissions, have gone on display at the Sayle Gallery in Douglas.
The event's been organised by the Island's Society of Architects - SofA - and follows the Isle of Architecture venture, a year of events highlighting the built environment, which ended in July.
The display showcases the skills and experience of 15 local architects, and continues until October 8.
SofA's chairman Martyn Thomas says members blend modern principles with respect for the Island's heritage:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Complaints process for health system changed
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
