The Longueville logo

The Longueville logo design was inspired by the designs of Richard Turner (b. Dublin, 1798 – d. 1881). Turner was an innovative iron glasshouse designer, whose sophisticated construction techniques and decorative details gave his buildings a lightness and elegance of design unmatched at the time. He used standardised components and prefabricated elements manufactured off-site for later assembly, together with curved glass in long lengths.

His works include:

Conservatory at Longueville House, Ireland Palm House at Kew Gardens (1844-48), with architect Decimus Burton Glasshouse in the Winter Gardens at Regent's Park, London (c.1845) Palm House at Belfast Botanic Gardens (1840) Railway Sheds in the Westland Row, Broadstone, Dublin Railway Sheds at Lime Street, Liverpool
