From carefully adapted historic spaces to striking contemporary buildings, Dublin has plenty to offer when it comes to architecture and interior design.

A 3,896-square-foot central atrium forms the spatial heart of the building, drawing natural light deep into the seven-story office complex.

The welcome area combines extensive glazing with a restrained palette of stone, glass and metal, creating a bright arrival sequence that connects the building's multiple entrances to the central circulation network.

Sections of the original limestone walls are retained and incorporated into the new development, creating a direct material connection between the site's industrial past and its contemporary commercial architecture.

Multiple roof terraces provide elevated outdoor amenity within the commercial development, introducing landscaped external space above the dense urban fabric of Smithfield.

Recessed upper floors temper the scale of the seven-story development, while brick, stone and glazed vertical elements break down the massing into a composition sympathetic to Smithfield's established streetscape.

Distillers is a commercial mixed-use development in Dublin's historic Smithfield district. The project combines new masonry volumes with retained historic fabric to create a contemporary interpretation of the area's industrial character.

The dining space opens directly onto the courtyard through large operable glass panels, allowing the room to visually expand into the garden and reinforcing the home's continuous indoor-outdoor circulation.

Full-height sliding and folding glass panels dissolve the boundary between interior and courtyard, allowing the patios to operate as extensions of the main living spaces rather than isolated exterior rooms.

The house is planned so that each principal space maintains a visual relationship with at least one courtyard, creating a sense of spatial continuity despite the site's limited width.
