Reinventing Historic Spaces
The Merrion Buildings, an example of Dublin’s fine Georgian architecture, were transformed by Synnott Design into a modern business haven that melds historical elegance with cutting-edge office facilities. The vision was to create a workspace that not only aligns with the building's grandeur but also supports the high-energy, innovative work culture of its occupants. Each design element was thoughtfully chosen to enhance the architectural integrity while providing a state-of-the-art work environment.

Overcoming Heritage Challenges
- Maximising Efficiency and Interaction: The design needed to enhance productivity and interaction without compromising the aesthetic integrity of the historical site.
- Budget Management: Adhering to budget constraints while achieving a high-end, functional design was paramount.
- Promoting Departmental Interaction: Strategic spatial organisation was crucial to fostering collaboration and interaction across different teams and departments.
- Adapting to a Historic Setting: Integrating modern design elements into a historical building required careful balance and sensitivity.
- Optimising Limited Space: Efficient use of space was essential to accommodate a variety of work areas within the architectural constraints of an historic building.

Implementing Green Design in a Historic Context
Synnott Design conducted detailed time in motion studies to ensure the office layout was optimised for productivity, mirroring strategies used in their healthcare projects to enhance operational efficiency.
By planning the placement of diverse work areas, the design encouraged ease of movement and interaction, which are vital in a collaborative workspace. These studies helped tailor the environment to reduce time wastage and enhance the user experience, accommodating various workstyles and neurodiverse needs.
Setting New Standards in Business Spaces
The redesign of The Merrion Buildings resulted in a vibrant, highly functional office environment that resonates with the building’s unique character and the dynamic needs of its occupants. The varied workspaces support different activities and preferences, enhancing overall productivity and satisfaction.
