This ambitious project transformed the former Aer Lingus Head Office Block into DAC One, a cutting-edge office building at the heart of Dublin Airport Central. The comprehensive renovation of the six-storey over basement structure included full re-cladding of all facades, complete services renewal, and redesign of all ancillary spaces.

The 8300m2 building underwent a deep energy retrofit, evolving from an unoccupied shell into a Grade A office space that achieved LEED Gold Accreditation and an impressive BER A3 rating. Externally the immediate vicinity of the building has been re-landscaped with new stone paving and soft landscaping, street furniture and lighting.
