Welcome to our Dublin studio
With a legendary warmth and a can-do attitude, Dublin is the obvious place from which to build our creative network in Ireland. Our latest studio in Europe will be a catalyst for new ideas and creative collaboration; it is an opportunity to serve our local and global clients with a dedicated and diverse team.
We’ve packed up and moved into our new Dublin space – come say hello at 4-5 Dawson street, Dublin 2, Ireland, D02 FH72.
Our phone numbers haven’t changed, but the surroundings sure have.
We can’t wait to welcome you in!
We created a hub where employees feel proud and inspired to explore, collaborate, and grow. Drawing on the building’s heritage, we crafted a journey that connects past and present – reflecting both Dublin’s history and the client’s forward-thinking ethos.
Our design leads users on a journey through a variety of spaces, encouraging movement through the levels, with vibrant colours and joyful elements revealed along the way. The journey culminates in a unique sensory experience on the top floor, a decompression zone designed to engage all five senses and encourage physical interaction of the space.
Our entry in collaboration with Structure Tone is a finalist in the Fit Out or Refurbishment over €5M category.
Standing on the site Dublin’s mail sorting office, The Sorting Office is the first home in Ireland for a leading global tech brand. Drawing on the creativity and culture that fuels Dublin today, the destination workplace brings the colour and energy of the city inside. Ribbons of lighting mirror the shape of the neighbourhood urban skyline, murals by local artists line the vibrant atrium space, and vibrant bold monochromatic interiors flood each floor with a different identity and colour palette.
Congratulations to all the finalists—we look forward to celebrating at the gala dinner in May!
A landmark in Dublin’s architectural landscape, the Tropical Fruit Warehouse highlights the juxtaposition of old and new, creating a vibrant and dynamic workplace. Designed as the headquarters for a global tech brand, the project retrofitted a 19th-century warehouse, once used for tropical fruit imports, and added a “floating glass box” extension cantilevered over the original structure, with views of the River Liffey. We worked closely with our client to design an office that celebrates their rich, diverse brand while inspiring their teams with a unique, joyful, and creative environment for them to work in.
Emanuela Caffrey shares her insights on the evolving demands for acoustic solutions in modern workplace design. She highlights the need for products that not only perform exceptionally but also align with contemporary aesthetics and sustainability goals.
“The pandemic reiterated how we cannot get too comfortable,” Emanuela notes. “we have to constantly develop and evolve our solutions and embrace the fact that the nature of work is forever changing. There will never be a one-size fits all solution’.
In Perkins&Will’s Dublin studio, Emanuela and the team draw from a diverse range of acoustic solutions, tailoring each project to meet the unique needs of their clients while pushing the boundaries of innovation and sustainability.

Our second shortlist is in the “Excellence in Sustainability” category. Guided by a holistic framework we call Living Design, our approach to sustainable design ensures we treat every project as an opportunity to create a healthier, happier, and more sustainable world. Supporting this with evidence-based reporting, our Net Zero Now report provides a clear, actionable blueprint for organisations to significantly reduce their environmental impact at a time where many still face barriers to delivering net-zero embodied carbon projects.
This week Perkins&Will welcomed many of our friends, clients and collaborators in Dublin to our first panel event of the year, hosted at MJF Interiors stunning showroom.

Considering the paradigm shift required in our approach to workplace design, the discussion explored a variety of topics through three pertinent lenses: people, planet and purpose.
