Re-modelling of the reception area and upgrade works including gym and changing facilities for a speculative office building in Dublin City Centre.

Plus Architecture were commissioned by Irish Life Investment Managers to undertake landlord upgrade works for a 1990’s office building in Herbert Street in Dublin 2.
Our design aims to create a new identity for the building and this re-branding informs the detailing of all elements including the reception desk, signage screens , bathrooms etc. Our scope of works also included remodelling of sub-basement to include new gym and changing room facilities.

The existing reception was very cramped and lacked any sense of drama despite it’s double height volume. Our proposal was to extend the reception area at Ground level and create a folded plane of timber cladding to draw the visitor’s eye up to the double height volume. Bespoke lighting was incorporated to accentuate contrasting material and colour combinations.

Our strategy was to embellish the base design with Our strategy was to embellish the base design with carefully configured additions to create a new internal ‘street’ which would provide a very clear circulation arrangement but more importantly would create a sense of place and would encourage informal employee interaction. Cellular spaces were treated as incidents or ‘buildings’ along the street employing a relatively restrained palette of materials with isolated accents of colour and timber.

We located the cafeteria within the triangular projecting bay overlooking the River Liffey, to exploit the wonderful views for the public heart of the scheme.

The Swan Centre in Rathmines previously did not en The Swan Centre in Rathmines previously did not engage with its southern elevation on to Castlewood Avenue. Our proposal was to create a new commercial elevation complete with café terrace, new kiosk shops and a higher profile entrance to the centre. By re-designing the internal layout of the shops and creating one large food anchor shop we sought to balance the retail offering within the centre. The previously underused surface carpark presented an underwhelming elevation to the centre and by infilling this space with new shops we have sought to improve both the retail environment and the public realm.
