Designed by Studio Ben Allen and delivered by Cundall Dublin’s in-house consultants, the new office is a symbol of Cundall’s commitment to healthy and sustainable design in every aspect of the business.
Situated overlooking the historic St Stephen’s Green in Dublin’s bustling centre, the office embraces the principles of the international WELL building standard and was also designed to achieve net zero carbon certification. Key features include 100% recycled bespoke office furniture with sit/stand desks for all staff, circadian lighting to emulate the colour shift and intensity of natural light, and the integration of planting within the structural aspects to give refuge and a sense of place.
Derry Kearney, Partner, commented, "The brief required us to consider health and wellbeing as well as creating a space that aligned with the business’s net zero carbon commitment. Our design has eliminated the need for air conditioning and utilises the inherent design features of this historic building, with its high ceilings, to allow us to naturally cross ventilate the space."
The design and fit-out has been a true demonstration of our team’s creativity and commitment to sustainability.
