Description
The comprehensive redevelopment of The One Building represented a significant transformation of this landmark Dublin office property, elevating it to a modern Grade A standard while preserving the architectural character that defines its presence on Grattan Street. The works included a full internal refurbishment that reimagined the building's layout and functionality, introducing contemporary finishes, upgraded circulation areas and high-performance building systems designed to meet the expectations of today's occupiers.
As part of the redevelopment, entirely new mechanical and electrical installations were incorporated throughout, ensuring long-term efficiency, reliability and comfort. The glazing was also fully upgraded, enhancing thermal performance and contributing to the building's bright, open internal environment.
A key feature of the project was the addition of a striking penthouse level on the seventh floor, creating a distinctive architectural statement while providing premium workspace with exceptional views across the city. The iconic Sam Stephenson façade, a defining element of the building's original design, was meticulously cleaned, restored and sealed to a high specification, ensuring its longevity and reinforcing its visual impact. This was complemented by the installation of a new architectural entrance canopy, which enhances the building's street presence and provides a strong sense of arrival for occupiers and visitors.
The quality of the redevelopment was recognised at a national level, with the project receiving the prestigious “Design Project of the Year” award at the KPMG Irish Independent Property Industry Excellence Awards in 2016. Internally, the building now offers efficient and flexible floor plates designed to accommodate a wide range of occupier requirements. Excellent natural light is achieved through uninterrupted horizontal glazing spans of almost four metres, creating bright, modern workspace with expansive views and a strong visual connection to the surrounding Docklands area.
