Hospitality.

Transforming one of Dublin’s most established hotels to a contemporary four star property. The Alex is a 122 bed hotel with full food, beverage & function room facilities. Our task was to fully refurbish and transform a dated 1990s structure into one of Europe’s coolest hotel properties. Our team created and designed every facet of the property including carpets, rugs, furniture and of course the interior design architecture.
The project was undertaken in 13 months from concept, statutory, site to completion within a live environment floor by floor.

Workplace

Opting for a pared back and natural material palette, the design for the new co-working offices at Lapps Quay was driven by the site’s panoramic views overlooking the River Lee.

The full two-floor office refurbishment was designed by 21Spaces, in collaboration with Glandore as they launched their largest co-working workplace in Cork city.

With the objective to open up the space and capture the essence of the movement reflected in the city’s views, 21Spaces designed a continuous line of transparency throughout the project. Every office and break out zone can be viewed from the central core.

To craft each space, materiality is explored through layering textiles against warm timbers, concrete, feature glass block walls and renewably sourced materials such as Baux acoustic panelling. 21Spaces formed the identity of Lapps Quay by promoting local artists and craftsmen through artwork, detailed joinery, and bespoke furniture.

Located at one of Dublin’s Georgian terraces, our team was tasked with transforming a vacant Georgian terrace building into a shared office space with boardrooms, social co-working spaces as well as an exterior break-out garden. As a listed building, our team was conscious of rejuvenating the building's historical features by bringing colour and materiality to the foreground, highlighting the natural light illuminating the space.

Student Residence

Spread across three buildings and located close to the centre of Dublin, the Montpellier Hill Residence is equipped to accommodate 319 students. Arranged into 48 student house units with shared living, kitchen, dining areas and communal spaces which are positioned on the ground floor.

The design concept was centred around creating a distinct, unique and inspiring environment that encourages students to socialise, study and have fun. The interior design approach that 21 Spaces adopted was that of a layered concept. The first of these layers being furniture which is a vibrant mixture of modern, utilitarian and bespoke pieces. The second layer is made up of bold, hard waring materials that not only provide visual impact but are robust by their nature for example plywood, ceramic tiles and metal. The third layer is comprised of artistic touches such as vibrant colours, striking graphics and creative use of signage, that transform the space into a place that students can call home.

Branding

Make sure you get the basics right, was our motto for the rebrand of Gerard’s.

Continuing our working relationship with Gerard’s, we set to simplifying their menu boards so that diners could focus on what they came for- good food.

This was achieved by creating cleaner graphics with a fresh typeface and colour scheme.

For the morning coffee, we played with the concept of before-and-after, and how one cup of good coffee can put you to rights.

One side of the to-go-cup, ‘before' is represented with ‘Gerard’s’ disconnected and floating round. On the reverse, ‘after' shows ‘Gerard’s’ set back together, ready for the day.

With the Guinness Storehouse being one of Ireland leading tourist attractions, the aim of the refit was to develop a design that was brighter, more welcoming, and establish an environment that was accessible to all customers. Preserving the original glazed bricks were a priority, and in doing so, lightweight free standing retail units were installed in order to embrace the historic characteristics of the building.

The new club room at Arthur House consisted of deconstructing multiple office spaces into one cohesive workspace that could transform into an event space.

Our team focused on stripping back the site to expose its existing industrial features, and juxtapose vibrant colours with more pared back muted tones. Each piece of joinery was crafted specifically for the project, with careful consideration to ensure that the design gave way for natural and informal meeting spaces. Located in the heart of Belfast city centre, the club room takes over two offices, an outdoor terrace, as well a social space for people to relax.
