Co-operatice Housing Fit Out Case Study

Co-operative Housing Ireland, a prominent approved housing body, plays a vital role in collaborating with local authorities, government agencies, developers, and more to address the housing needs of individuals with limited incomes who qualify for public and social housing. Before their relocation to a new office space on Warrington Place in Dublin 2, it was imperative to undergo a comprehensive office fit-out that would meet their functional requirements.

Kitchen and Canteen Space Transformation: The heart of the office, the kitchen and canteen area, needed a significant overhaul. The new design featured bright, modern cabinets with an inviting central island. This rejuvenated space now serves as a welcoming oasis where employees can take their breaks, engage in informal meetings, and recharge. The new kitchen and canteen area promote a sense of community and well-being among staff.

Open Plan Workspace Enhancement: The main open plan workspace, which previously felt dark and overcrowded, underwent a remarkable transformation. Through meticulous planning and thoughtful layout adjustments, a more spacious and welcoming ambience was achieved. Bright wall colours and well-designed desk partitions were introduced, ensuring that employees can work in a well-lit, open, and inviting environment. This revitalised workspace now encourages collaboration, creativity, and productivity.

Boardroom and Meeting Spaces: In addition to the main office space, new facilities were created to accommodate various types of meetings and discussions. A bright, modern boardroom was equipped with state-of-the-art conferencing facilities, ensuring that important discussions could take place seamlessly. A smaller meeting room, as well as a manager’s office, were designed to provide the necessary spaces for different levels of interaction and decision-making.

Glazed Partitioning for Spaciousness: Throughout the office, glazed partitioning was thoughtfully added to enhance the sense of space and connectivity. This design choice not only ensures that natural light can permeate the interior but also fosters an open and transparent atmosphere, in line with Co-operative Housing Ireland’s commitment to cooperation and collaboration.

This office fit-out project stands as a testament to Co-operative Housing Ireland’s mission and values. The new office space on Warrington Place is not only a functional hub for their essential work but also a dynamic and inspiring environment that encourages team members to excel in their mission of providing housing solutions to those in need. The blend of modern aesthetics, thoughtful design, and functional spaces ensures that the new office is a vibrant and engaging workplace where Co-operative Housing Ireland can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families in search of affordable and suitable housing solutions.
