Outcome
The design of the CDB Aviationb was carried out by Henry J Lyons, one of Ireland’s leading architectural practices, and the team were tasked with creating a balanced and professional office space, with a continuous flow.
Embracing the iconic positioning of the building, the design team created a spacious and open reception and lounge, inviting staff and visitors alike in, and connecting them to the exterior views.
Housing an executive lounge, meeting rooms, collaboration and breakout areas, the design pays homage to aviation with the aerofoil profile of the ceiling timber and aircraft-like arches throughout the space
Stephanie O’Sullivan, Architect at Henry J Lyons, commented: “We wanted to create a harmonious working environment that connected to the exterior views. As this is the first purpose-built headquarters for CDB Aviation, it was important that its ethos was reflected in the design.
“It was important that the tiles were carefully chosen, to ensure they fit with the overall aesthetic of the office. We selected Solus’ Terrazzo range as it offered a hard-wearing and practical surface, whilst also complementing the warm and subtle tones of the office.”
